^ That's great news for the area. They've been working on securing that funding for a while now.
Speaking of rivers and water - it has been pouring rain here - 6" yesterday and more today although it is tapering off. Below are some photos of Western Michigan's Waldo Stadium, which experienced unprecedented flooding Saturday evening. Lighting in the area initially caused the game to be delayed, but it was ultimately postponed, once the field began flooding. An excessive amount of water from the overflowing Arcadia Creek poured down the stairs on the western side of the stadium, filling it and creating a small lake. Too bad PJ Fleck wasn't still around to help them 'row the boat' our of this mess.
