Kalamazoo flooding swamps cars, frustrates drivers

From our media partners at WOOD TV:

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Flooded and washed-out roadways made travel more difficult for people in Kalamazoo Thursday.

Road crews put up barricades across the area but some drivers ignored the signs. 24 Hour News 8 found people pushing a car out of the water on East Vine Street. Several other vehicles were abandoned.

Kalamazoo County Emergency Management Director Mike Corfman says keeping up with Mother Nature has been a challenge.

“Actually, we started running out of barricades so we’re just putting up the traffic cones,” he said.

He said Kalamazoo is now borrowing barricades from a neighboring county.
