4/10/13 - The Huron River in Hamburg Township may reach flood stage before the weekend is over. The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for all of Southeast Michigan, including Livingston County until Friday morning as several rounds of heavy rainfall are expected to move through the area. Currently the Huron River is well below flood stage at just under four feet. However, National Weather Service predictions indicate the level will rise through the end of the week and exceed the 6.5 foot flood stage by Saturday night or early Sunday. Itâs then expected to top out at 6.8 feet by Monday afternoon before levels will begin to recede. If the water does hit flood stage, water will begin to flood yards or homes along the Huron River and Ore Lake. As it moves beyond that towards the cresting point, many boat docks will become submerged. However, if the predictions remain accurate, the water levels should go back down before reaching foundations and crawl spaces. (JK)
