Flood waters at 11 Mile and Franklin roads in Southfield came before sunset. Several cars were trying to navigate water up to their doors.

However, many will be watching the pumps at the Great Lakes Water Authority. Technicians and contractors are already on site Tuesday night at the Freud Pump Station and will stay there for the next two days to try and fix any issues that may arise.

A warning remains for anyone in a low-lying area or usually gets water in their basement to not wait on moving anything off of the ground or out of the basement.
