2020 Historic Flooding

Looking back at the massive flooding one year ago Wednesday

It was the evening of May 19,2020 that changed the lives of thousands of people in Midland, Gladwin and Saginaw Counties.

I was anchoring the news at home during the pandemic and just after 5:30 I saw Meteorologist Ahmad Bajjey in a monitor frantically waving his hands.

Picture below shows me standing on a dock of what was Wixom Lake.

Ahmad was trying to tell us that the Edenville dam had just collapsed.

Our live coverage started on-air and online began and carried on into the early morning hours.

For the next few days I was anchoring from Midland County showing viewers the devastation.

We also brought stories of hope and compassion.

Be sure to watch Mid-Michigan NOW on NBC25 at 5 and 6p.m. on Wednesday as we take a look back and a look forward at the historic flood.
