Several areas around Michigan dealt with rising water levels last week - and a few people used it to their advantage.

A video showing multiple people using their jet skis on flooded streets in Michigan has gone viral with nearly two million views.

The video looks to have been shot on Saturday in the Kalamazoo area.

People using canoes to travel were also spotted in West Michigan over the weekend.

We obviously do not condone this activity - it's probably very dangerous. Watch the video below:

The National Weather Service says the Grand River in Grand Rapids crested Sunday above 20 feet (6 meters), more than 2 feet (0.7 meters) higher than flood stage, after peaking Friday in the Lansing area. Still, local states of emergency were in effect Monday along portions of the river.
