Lake Cadillac in Wexford County hit record water levels this week, according to local officials.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency for nearly half the state this week after widespread flooding devastated communities, caused evacuations, washed out hundreds of roads and put massive pressure on dams across the region.
