| The Edenville earthen dam released the lake in one hour. |
The Edenville earthen dam was so vulnerable that the feds took away its license two years ago, due to poor maintenance. The governor of Michigan, famous for issuing orders straight from Alice in Wonderland, is suddenly angry about the flooding.
In one hour, the earthen dam broke and emptied its lake of water upriver from the Sanford dam, which could not hold back so much water at once. Highways are torn up and blocked. Bridges are a mess. It is hard to tell how extensive the damage is, but the flooding is the worst ever in the area.
Norma Boeckler is safe at her cousin's house. She has endured many floods in the past, the last one only three years ago.
