It has been nearly two weeks since Chelsea Jankowiak’s Dearborn home, like others across Metro Detroit, flooded in historic storms.
Roughly a foot of water ruined furniture, appliances, precious keepstakes. So when storms arrived again Wednesday with downpours and high winds that sparked thousands of outages, toppled trees as well as closed an area freeway where power lines fell, Jankowiak and her family warily watched the forecast.
“We’ll probably be sleeping in shifts if the weather gets bad,” she said. “If we have a bad storm, we’re probably going to be on edge at least for the rest of the warm season.”
