[The Perfect Fit]

I wanted to bring this to your attention. With all of the rain and flooding that we have been having, our rivers and streams are flooded and bringing all of the debris out to the lake. This includes large tree branches, picnic tables and anything else you can think of that floats.
PLEASE be careful when your heading out on the lake and keep your eyes open for anything out there....
I just want all of you to have a safe boating experience..

Absolutly right. Keep a look out!!!

 

[TripleG]

That's too funny, I was just trying to explain that to a non-boater here at work......he don't get.....never will.......

I saw some very large stumps and tree branches floating down the river yesterday. Also there was a vessel assist tug boat towing what looked like half of a very large tree.
Makes you wonder where all this crap ends up. Does it go to shore or does it just stay out in the lake waiting to wreck your day.

In all seriousness, if anyone happens to see a nice, wood picnic table floating around, please supply me with lat/long and place a marker on it. Our anniversary is coming up and wife said she would like one.

Okay, that being said, yes, it is VERY important to keep a watch out for anything that might not look right. And remember, for you boaters that are out there later at night, most stuff like this doesnt reflect light. So a "black hole" on the water will most likely cause a hole in your hull if you go through it. So avoid it.

Good point for sure. Lets all get together and sweep the lake!

Don't need that crap!

The Sunbums might finally be able to get their boats out of storage.

Yeah, I couldn't believe the river level at Metro Pkwy and Utica this morning!

I saw that too! Wow, if it keeps raining it will overflow for sure!

 

[Shandog]

it'll still probably overflow in a few days anyways because of the water table flowing "downwards"

when I worked at Sycamore Hills Golf Course we'd always flood out a few days after the fact for that reason - shoot I bet they can't even get on North Avenue because of all of the flooding

I was a little scared yesterday when the tornado sirens went off - lots of tree limbs down over here in my hood

The water through downtown Mt Clemens is over the docks and there is a really strong movement of water.

There's quite a few chunks of North Avenue closed, and I'm sure that's one of them.

Great post. Saturday alone, Tom at Tin Fish noticed a few logs near his docks that weren't there earlier in the week.

PLENTY of debris floating out of the Clinton River Mouth. I was there Saturday during the fog/impending storms and noticed at least 12 in the hour I was there. Some BIG, all just under the surface. Keep a sharp eye out!

Quote from Macomb Daily:

Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel, whose home was without power Sunday, said workers pulled large logs out of Lake St. Clair that flowed in from the spillway. He said the lake likely will receive a large amount of debris because of the storms.

When I returned to Beacon Cove yesterday there was at least a hundred pieces of wood floating out front from the spillway. I got off plane way out and idled in. 3crabs said there was the same going up the salt river.

[spacelord]

A few more days of rain and maybe I'll have waterfront property.

Seriously though. it would suck to be in that mess...
