The annual Port Huron Float down is happening on Sunday, and U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards are warning the risks for those participating in the event.

Thousands are expected to head to the St. Clair River on Sunday for the annual Port Huron Float Down.

The U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards are continuing efforts to break up ice and free a freighter that has been trapped in a frozen Lake Erie for days, officials said.

Chinese coast guard ships have fired water cannons at two Philippine patrol vessels near a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, damaging both, in the latest flareup in an increasingly tense territorial conflict.

Michiganders are incredibly lucky to be surrounded by water, but frigid cold temperatures across Metro Detroit will soon turn water into ice. Many people love this time of year, especially those enthused with ice fishing and winter sports, but the ice can become very dangerous as the flowing liquid becomes a solid.
