Western Upper Michigan being hit hard by flooding

Town of Hubbel is being evacuated because of concerns with Dam #16.

Emergency shelters being opened up for those who lost their homes, had their homes damaged or can't get home because of road and street closures.

National Guard reportedly being called up.

Many homes along the Houghton canal have been washed into the canal by mudslides or flooding.

Facebook page "Copper Country Storm Damage June 2018" has many pics and videos of the damage around the region.
