Frequently asked questions
The dams failed in 2020. Why does an average May still matter?
Because the dams were the storage. Without them, May rain that used to sit in Sanford Lake now arrives in town sooner. A 1971 ranch sited to a controlled river is now sited to an uncontrolled one. The average month is the new ordinary version of that map.
The dams are supposed to control this. Are they not enough?
2020 answered that. The failures showed the Tittabawassee floodplain was never as controlled as the ranches built on it assumed, and the basin now carries less storage than the housing was sited against. Planning around the dams is what put houses where they are.
The house did not flood in 2020. Is it out of the path?
Not necessarily. 2020 mapped the worst case. A cellar that seeps in a normal May is already in the floodplain hydrology, just not in the headline. Seepage on this river is the quiet version of the same ground. Seepage on this river is the quiet version of the same ground, just not the headline.
