I am still high and dry here in Plymouth. I would have to say the Edward N. Hines would be very proud of his parkway right now. It is working exactly as intended and keeping the flooding Rouge away from private property.

No he wouldn't. I was driving down Merriman in Westland and the Police was detouring traffic away from Hines Park it was flooded so bad. The upper branch of the Rouge looked like the Mississippi River. Hines Drive and park is always flooded, even after a thundershower.

It's almost as though they designed it that way, huh?
