Michigan Governor Requesting Federal Emergency Declaration Due To Flooding

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is asking President Trump for a federal emergency declaration to help the response to this week's catastrophic flooding in Midland County. 

The area was deluged by six to eight-inches of rain over 48 hours, causing two dams to fail. 

Whitmer says she plans to have a full briefing ready for the President before he arrives there today to tour a Ford factory that has been making respirators for the COVID-19 response efforts.
