Thank you for asking. I'm fine. Other side of the state. I have an Aunt and Uncle who lost some livestock and a couple out buildings on the hobby farm. But no losses of life or health fortunately. The animals escaped. Not washed away. Just one thing after another for all of us. Be safe people. Keep wearing those masks and sterilizing everything. The more dilligent we are. The sooner we can began to relax again. And all you group socializers need to quit. It isn't over yet.What we know about flooding in Michigan that forced 10,000 evacuations, may put city 9 feet underwater
Two breached dams caused by several days of rainfall and rising water has forced the evacuation of about 10,000 people in mid-Michigan.www.usatoday.com
As if a 100 year plague isn't enough two dams failed in midland MI. I am hoping everyone is ok. @MICHI-CAN you ok
I'm glad you are ok. Thank you for letting us know and you too stay safe.
Dick Schnieder didn't want to touch water issues here after the Flint scam.

The people who drink unpurified municipal water weren't right in the head to begin with, i doubt the lead had much affect. That shit had to have tasted so bad. A simple britta filter is all you need to have perfectly safe water.
The folks drinking the water were the poor ones, Flint is a island of poor, in mid Michigan. The real issue is not that they made a mistake with pumping acidic water into a urban water system, but when they found out, they covered it up and did nothing. Early on a GM plant complained that they water was too corrosive to use in the plant for cleaning parts. They still did nothing. Nobody wanted to admit to a mistake, and never looked into what it would lead too. Children can suffer life long damage from lead exposure.
A poor family of four with tap water the color of rust isn't going to be able to afford Brita filters and if you were there, you would have did what most did, drank donated bottle water"Lead in tap water can come from corrosion of household plumbing systems, or erosion of natural deposits. ... Both Brita® Faucet Systems and Brita® Longlast™ Filters are certified to remove 99% of lead that may be found in tap water. "Brita

Anyone using a Brita filter would most definitely have been in the safe range of lead content. Their water was literally coming out of the faucet brown. It had to have tasted SO BAD.
I only drink water that has been filtered through the one linked below as well as a Brita.
I try not to get emotional about water.
I suspect that the mussels issue was started by the locals to justify higher lake levels.
The mussels, similar to the watercraft use, is probably just in line for a steady lake level. Emphasis on efficiency.
