WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
March 2007Flash FloodChesterfield$250,000An extreme amount of rain fell in a short period of time, 4 inches in only one hour, during a thunderstorm that became stationary over Clinton Township. Rain fell so fast that sewers were unable to handle the water flow and flash flooding ensued. Water was three to four feet deep in some spots, flooding multiple homes and swamping cars up to their windows. It was estimated that 100 homes suffered some type of water damage, with at least 30 homes flooded by at least 2 feet of water. Multiple roads became impassable from the flooding and had to be closed off. Lifelong residents reported the flooding to be by far the worst they had ever witnessed. This was also not considered a flood plain, thus nearly all residents were without flood insurance. Total monetary damages attributed to the flooding were estimated at roughly $300K.
