Update: Water main break leaves frozen pond on Detroit’s west side Water is deep, ice is getting thicker
DETROIT – The water has gone down about an inch or so, but it stopped. The damage is done.
The water is deep, and the ice is thicker as everything in the neighborhood is frozen solid, including a kids scooter in the area of Harlow Avenue Cambridge Avenue 7 Mile Road Southfield Freeway
“Oh my God,” said Ashley Preston, a neighborhood resident. “It’s been hectic. You can’t even get to your house. I couldn’t even bring my baby as I had to drive on the grass just to get to the house.”
