Floodwater unleashed by two dam failures in Midland County, Michigan, on May 19, overflowed the nearby Smallwood lake dam. Drone footage shows brown water rushing through the Smallwood dam, as a bulldozer pushes rocks into the water to stem the flow. Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Midland County on Tuesday and encouraged residents to evacuate or relocate to local shelters. “This is unlike anything we’ve seen in Midland County. If you have a family member or loved one who lives in another part of the state, go there now,” Whitmer said in a press release. Local media reported that about 10,000 residents in the region have been evacuated. Credit: Robert J Harrison via Storyful
