Flood — Saginaw, MI

Mar 11, 2006

Heavy rain and a period of warm temperatures rapidly melted the foot of snow on the ground across the area. This led to moderate flooding along the Cass River from Frankenmuth downstream to Bridgeport. The river crested 3 feet above flood stage in Frankenmuth at 1630 EST on the 12th. An additional 2 inches of rainfall occurred during the early morning hours of the 13th. As a result, flooding continued along the river for several more days before finally subsiding on the 15th.
