Residents Evacuate As Homes Flood In Frenchtown Township, Michigan

The strong winds and rain caused severe flooding in one Monroe County community Sunday. The crashing waves flooded home after home along Lake Erie’s Grand Beach in Frenchtown Township. “My daughter came in and said, ’Mommy, there’s water in the living room.’ We were still asleep. We got up and there was probably, six to eight inches of water all the way through my house,” Lisa Norton said. Lisa Norton picked up her 7-year-old daughter, their cat and some clothes and ran for the car. She got her family to safety, but says she lost her home along the way.
