Heavy rainfall hit the eastern United States and particularly Detroit. This was the most rain the city had seen in almost nine decades, according to officials, causing flooding, power losses and road closures, including parts of several major highways.

Due to the bad weather U.S. automakers in the region closed, including General Motors Co’s technical center outside Detroit.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said that the volume of rain, which reached over 5 inches in some areas. overwhelmed sewer systems, causing widespread flooding.
