SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (via WOOD TV) — Around noon Monday, South Haven was a kiteboarder's dream, with strong gusts and red no-swimming flags flying above South Beach.
High water levels added to the spectacle, partially flooding the pier and forming a small pond on part of the beach.
Cheryl Howard is visiting from California. When she visited a decade earlier, Howard said South Haven looked much different.
"There was a lot more sand," she recalled. "Because we walked out quite a ways."
Heavy rainfall led to a lakeshore flood advisory along Lake Michigan for most of Monday. Water levels are already nearing record-highs for the month of June, according to Storm Team 8.
North in Grand Haven, several roads along the Grand River are covered by water. Along Lake Michigan, concern is growing as the rising water continues to swallow sand.
