(WXYZ) â As thousands are still cleaning up from the weekend flooding, Attorney Paul Doherty says he has the goods to file a lawsuit to get paid for millions in damages. âThis storm was not a surprise. Itâs not the storm of the century as they like to tell us,â he says. Doherty lives in Grosse Pointe Park and has his own damage. The rain that fell early Saturday morning did not go down storm drains in the street. It went into basements. The water completely filled his basement up to the ceiling.
