FRENCHTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Aerial video showed several residents impacted by severe flooding along the lakefront in Monroe County.
Sky 4 was over the flooded area near Nadeau Road and Dixie Highway in Frenchtown Township.
Water from the Brest Bay has flooded the area. Video shows homeowners' yards are flooded and water is surrounding several homes.
A lakeshore flood advisory is in effect for Wayne and Monroe counties until 12 a.m. Saturday. That means onshore winds and waves make flooding possible in low areas along the lakeshore. Wind was expected to create big, relentless wave activity that could lead to some shoreline flooding.
Here's some information from the National Weather Service:
"Easterly wind will increase today to gusts around 25 knots. The wind is expected to produce 3 to 5 foot waves with occasional waves to 7 feet. The wind and waves help lift water level to about 68 inches above chart datum at Gibraltar and to near 72 inches at Toledo during Friday afternoon.
"The Lake Erie undisturbed water level is over 4 feet above chart datum. The high water level combined with the high wave action will have potential to result in minor shoreline flooding and erosion. Damage to docks, boat lifts, or watercraft anchored along the shoreline will also be possible."
