Sorry for slow response. Thanks for asking. Yes, with flood before Wixom Lake/Edenville Dam burst letting like 18.2 billion gallons of water (normal water level before flood) hammer Edenville, Sanford, and Midland. Busy with helping myself and elderly neighbors. I'll sign-in to review and approve new registrations when I can.

Monty, Hope all is going as well as can be accepted. I work with a few people who had issues in that area also.

It's going OK, thanks to everyone who Called, E-Mailed, Texted, and etc for asking; offering help. Still working on getting the place back to par between helping elderly neighbors (two of three widowed; all in late '70s) who got it worse than me. Evacuation Order was given late on the 18th (thought the Smallwood Dam was going to break) and I got the heck out within minutes. Picture taken at 10:45 AM on the 19th from the house to the street. Wixom Lake is behind the white house; I'm a co-owner of the empty lot on the lake to the left of the house and beyond the three pine trees. Came back for a few minutes to get medications and the most important papers. Only picture I got, didn't have time (or worth the risk) for more. When I came back early afternoon on the 20th. You can see the water line on the garage, highest it got when the Wixom Lake Edenville Dam let loose. Under normal water level (not the flood level) it holds 21.8 billion gallons of water. What the lake lot look like now. I ride snowmobiles off it in the winter via the cut-out beyond the hand rails.

That looks pretty bad Monty. Third picture (the lake)... looks like a dike on the far shore, is that part of the dam infrastructure?
