If you're headed west to Ludington area this weekend, not so fast

Our friends on the west side of the state were DELUGED with 10 inches of rain overnight, washing away roads and CLOSING sections of US 31 (among other roads).

From the Muskegon Chronicle:

Michigan Department of Transportation is closing U.S. 31 in Mason County from Manistee to Scottville because of the condition of the local roads and weather-related rain damage. A new detour route will be established using M-55, M-37, and U.S. 10 in order to ensure a safe trip for motorists.

Flash flood warnings were in effect overnight for Lake, Manistee, Mason, Missaukee and Wexford counties, the weather service said.


We're not saying don't go, just call ahead, it might save you a detour into the middle of nowhere...
