So the town where my Mom grew up had catastrophic flooding. Houghton Michigan is devastated. Michigan Tech has even shutdown for the time being... A state of emergency has been declared and the national guard is getting called in for cleanup and repair. The area simply doesn't have the financial resources to deal with a disaster of this magnitude! Copper Country Flood Relief
