@GovWhitmer @SenGaryPeters People will not be focusing on keeping distance. During a conflict people want to be closer with one another. If you think that the flood will be bad just think also of the amount infected from the evac.

This is me done for the night. David should be on soon to take over this story. This isn't over. We are still waiting for reports from the plant.

Thanks for all the support and retweets.
