Grand River flooding could be Lansing's worst since 1985
LANSING - Areas along the Grand River in Lansing could see flooding not seen since 1985 if current forecasts hold up.
Steady rain across the region, coupled with significant snow melt in the past week, was expected to push the river past flood stage by late Tuesday or early Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The river stood at 9.9 feet on Tuesday afternoon and was expected to crest at 14.1 feet on Friday or Saturday. Flood stage is 11 feet.
"Some homes are going to take on water, and neighborhoods will start to flood," said Brandon Hoving, a meteorologist with the weather service in Grand Rapids. "Folks that haven't lived in Lansing since the 1980's will not be familiar with what’s coming."
