    OMG I had no idea it flooded so much in my area! I didn’t need to go anywhere and tried to stay off the roadways.

    WOW!! I live on Handy Rd, which is between William’s Ditch and McKenzie Rd, and I usually go McKenzie to get to 95-A. Guess I won’t be doing that for a couple of days. Hopefully, William’s Ditch will be o.k. to drive tomorrow, as I need to get to work tomorrow.
