• Northern Michigan cleans up after historic floods: ‘I just want to cry' (bridgemi.com) — Flooding across northern Michigan is still keeping Houghton Lake’s water level above its legal summer mark, and officials warn it may only drop about an inch per week. Roscommon County leaders say they’re doing everything they can as high water, damaged rivers, and canceled events like the Roscommon Canoe Classic show how long recovery may take for nearby communities.
