Some Mount Pleasant streets flooded
Some streets in Mount Pleasant are flooded after storms swept through the city this afternoon.
Abbey Lane, Kinney and Bennett Avenues, and Bellows, Brown, Elizabeth, Michigan and Fancher Streets are partially flooded. No streets are closed because of the rain, said Michelle Smith, assistant supervisor for the Streets department of the Department of Public Works.
Smith said she does not know when the flooding will subside.
“It depends, because sometimes when it rains real hard like that, the system gets full of water,” she said.
The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids issued a high wind warning, which expires at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Weather.com’s forecast predicts the majority of the rain has passed, with chances of precipitation under 25 percent for the rest of the night.
The DPW is out surveying the situation, Smith said.
“We have a crew out right now that is checking all the catch basins and storm drains,” Smith said.
