More rain arrives for weekend in Southeast Michigan
Floodwaters are starting to recede in some parts of Metro Detroit after strong thunderstorms dropped 1.5 to 2.75 inches of rain on Wednesday night.
The excessive rain led to street and river flooding. Do not attempt to drive or walk through floodwaters.
