Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is asking President Trump for a federal emergency declaration to help the response to this week's catastrophic flooding in Midland County.
The area was deluged by six to eight-inches of rain over 48 hours, causing two dams to fail.
Whitmer says she plans to have a full briefing ready for the President before he arrives there today to tour a Ford factory that has been making respirators for the COVID-19 response efforts.
