Storms and flooding from Wednesday are impacting residents and commuters today.

 According to the Big Rapids Department of Public Safety as the rain stopped, the rivers and creeks around the area became overfull and caused more extensive flooding within the city.

This flooding is forcing the closure of several streets within the city; Hemlock St. between N. Michigan Ave. and N. State St. will be closed indefinitely due to damage. N. Michigan Ave. from E. Pine St. to E. Bellevue St. will be closed until this afternoon.

Police remind you to NOT travel through flooded roads and find another way to reach your destination.
