The river crested at 10 this AM.
I dodged the bullet.
The reason I did not get flooded or should I say have waters around my home, is because of the gentle breeze from the south west that is blowing the water out of Saginaw Bay.
The Saginaw River flows straight north 12 miles into Saginaw Bay, its a river of commerce.
A northeast wind (think fall and winter storms), pushes water back into Saginaw Bay from Lake Huron, and raises river water levels.
The high-pressure system that arrived after the storm, accompanied by the southwest wind due to the expanding warm air from the west, pushes the water out of Saginaw Bay and pulls the water out of the river more quickly.
So, weve reached the crest With no rain expected for three or four more days and I can go back to my normal routine.
Thank you for all the well wishes, and naturally I am very grateful that things worked out.
