Heavy rain fell over southeast Michigan from September 12th-14th, with widespread 3 to 6 inches reported. Isolated amounts around 8 inches were even reported across northwest Genesee County. A slow moving cold front interacting with the remnants of two tropical systems, one being Lowell from the Pacific and the other being Ike from the Atlantic, led to the extreme rainfall totals. This heavy rain did cause some widespread flooding across much of southeast Michigan, but mostly minor flooding was reported, such as large pools of water on roads, road closures, along with some basement flooding. One of the most significant reported flooding occurred in Farmington Hills, were residents of the Manor of Farmington Hills had to be evacuated as water flowed through the patients rooms. A Clinton Township woman also had to be rescued as her car became submerged at Millar and Utica Roads. In addition to the heavy rain, the remnants of Ike did cause some strong winds which caused small tree limbs to fall and power outages to around 15,000 customers spread across Macomb, St. Clair, and Oakland counties.
