No deaths, no major injuries reported. We are still under the state wide lock down too. Most people in this area ignored that to see what happened and such including myself. I have a couple pics of right before the dam went, but dark crappy shots so didn't bother posting.
I live on high and dryish land so I didn't have much for flood problems. I do know people in Sanford area that had their house under water though, from what I've seen their houses should be fairly easy to repair, basically a major remodel, structure looks intact. Kind of a pain to get around with a ton of local roads washed out from the flood/rain plus the major bridges in the area all down from the dams. Couple days ago it was about a 60 mile trip to get to the other side of the river, one of the bridges reopened near Sanford that was recently built and was very tall vs the others in the area so that cuts the trip down to like 30 miles or so.
The real kicker is we just had a "100 year" flood in 2017 and this event was worse.
Figured I'd post some photos of the area, stuff you likely won't see on the news. Kind of wish I would have taken pics right when I got news the dam washed out, I was around 3 miles from the M30 bridge at that time and heard it on the radio for the local fire department effectively right when it went.
Here's a few pics I took. This is the major road that goes through the area just south of the first dam that broke called M30.
This is the 2nd bridge down stream of the first dam, Curtis road.
This is what's left of Wixom Lake after 2 days of draining.
About a mile upstream from the last shot (roughly 2 miles from the dam). The last pic is the first dam that failed with 42x zoom from that
Some misc pics farther yet up stream. The good spot I was heading to was closed down by the state police.
Sanford Dam (2nd one that burst), couldn't get an angle to see the failure point due to a few guys in uniforms. This lake (Sanford Lake) is also drained now like Wixom, I haven't taken photos yet though.
Back down stream (between Sanford and Edenville dams) near a friend's 2nd home.
Same spot, still not sure what this is, looks like a grass patch... in the middle of the lake though? Maybe a section of sod washed and settled there? Maybe just the weeds and such from the lake that didn't wash away.
