Against a backdrop of high water levels during the spring thaw, the Wraco Lodge Dam on Wolf Creek gave way. The resulting flood waters closed several roads, including Old 27 just north of the Clare County line, Wraco and Rollway Roads, Newago and Townline Roads, and County Road 402. Flood waters came within inches of reaching the US-127 bridge.
