Volunteers help Dearborn residents impacted by flooding

Volunteers have spent the past three days helping Dearborn residents whose homes were damaged by flooding. More help is still needed.

Both Detroit and Dearborn were battered by heavy rain and subsequent flooding over the weekend after a series of storms swept through the Midwest and Michigan. While standing water and damage remains on some freeways, most flooding has disappeared from homes.

Piles of damaged possessions lined the streets of the two cities after they were submerged underwater.
