"Southeast Michigan Braces for Increased Storms and Flooding"
The National Weather Service has upgraded the chance for thundershowers in southeast Michigan to an enhanced risk, indicating more damaging gusts and increased flooding. Detroit Metro Airport may experience flooding again, and there could be more power outages. Scientists warn that climate change is contributing to more severe storms and flooding, with extreme weather predicted to expand America's floodplains by about 45% in the next few decades. Cities and utilities are acknowledging the challenges of preventing and repairing storm-related damage, which may result in higher utility and insurance bills. Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid roadways with standing water.
