What to Do Before We Arrive

  • Keep away from standing water if an outlet or cord is nearby.
  • Take photos of the water line and the source if you can see one.
  • Get belongings off the floor where you can.
  • Call to get extraction started the same day.
Bloomfield Township, specifically. The township sits at the headwaters of the Rouge River watershed and holds 19 named lakes, including Quarton Lake and Wing Lake, on top of numerous ponds and stormwater retention ponds. This is a county-wide NOAA record rather than a township-specific one, but it is tied to a location inside the historic Bloomfield area. On July 24, 2021, a severe thunderstorm line crossing Oakland County dropped a quick 2.5 inches of rain over Bloomfield Hills, flash-flooding the underpass at Maple Road and South Easton Street and shutting down all lanes of southbound I-75 near 11 Mile Road.
