Heavy rains drenched the southern U-P early Thursday morning, causing widespread flooding.
The National Weather Service says the hardest-hit areas were in southern Menominee County, where more than five inches of rain fell in just a few hours. The Menominee County Sheriffs Department reported flash flooding in the Stephenson area, and County Road G-12 was closed because of rising waters.
In Gladstone, more than two inches of rain fell, causing flooding on M-35 that prompted Public Safety to warn people to take a different route through the city.
Two-point-32 inches of rain was reported in Garden, and just over two inches of rain fell in a two-hour period in Escanaba.
In Schoolcraft County, swimmers in Lake Michigan were being warned of dangerous wave conditions near Lakeview Park and near Seul Choix Point.
