Flooding hits parts of Midwest, with evacuations in Michigan
People living along two mid-Michigan lakes and parts of a river were evacuated Tuesday following several days of heavy rain that produced flooding and put pressure on dams in the area.
Two Midland-area schools were opened for evacuees and more than 50 roads have been closed. The evacuations in Michigan followed days of heavy rains in parts of the Midwest that also brought flooding to Chicago and other parts of Illinois, as well as Ohio and other states.
“We were laying in bed when I heard sirens,” Jon St. Croix told the Midland Daily News. “A fire truck was driving around, broadcasting that (we needed) to evacuate. It’s a scary thing — you’re sleeping and awake to sirens.”
St. Croix, 62, his wife and a next-door neighbor were among more than a dozen people sheltering in one of the schools. Their home was not flooded, but St. Croix said he had seen flooding in the area.
Volunteers at the schools said about 120 vehicles were in the parking lots and about 30 people had been staying on cots inside, according to WNEM-TV.

Woman wins Picasso painting worth €1m in raffle
An Italian woman has won a painting by Pablo Picasso, worth about €1m (£900,000; $1.1m), in a raffle after being given the ticket as a gift.
The winning ticket was pulled out during a live draw at Christie’s auction house in Paris.
The event, which was fundraising for Care charity, had been postponed twice - first to sell more tickets, and then because of coronavirus restrictions.
The prize painting, Nature Morte, is a still life from 1921.
It is a relatively small artwork - measuring 9in by 18in (23cm by 46cm) - which shows a glass of absinthe and a newspaper on a table.
In total €5.1m was raised for the charity by selling 51,000 raffle tickets at €100 each. About 29% of the tickets were sold in France, followed by the US and Switzerland.
Organisers said that €4.2m of proceeds will go towards clean water projects in schools and villages in Madagascar, Morocco and Cameroon.
David Nahmad, the billionaire collector from Monaco who supplied the Picasso painting, will be given €900,000. He also donated €100,000 to Care, organisers said.
“Picasso would have loved an operation like this, because he was someone with a lot of interest in humanitarian and social causes,” sale organiser Peri Cochin told Reuters news agency.

TEXTO III
Mulheres de Atenas
Mirem-se no exemplo
Daquelas mulheres de Atenas
Vivem pros seus maridos
Orgulho e raça de Atenas
Quando amadas, se perfumam
Se banham com leite, se
Arrumam
Suas melenas
Quando fustigadas não choram
Se ajoelham, pedem, imploram
Mais duras penas; cadenas
Mirem-se no exemplo
Daquelas mulheres de Atenas
Sofrem pros seus maridos
Poder e Força de Atenas
(...)
Elas não têm gosto ou vontade
Nem defeito, nem qualidade
Têm medo apenas
Não têm sonhos, só têm
Presságios
O seu homem, mares,
Naufrágios
Lindas sirenas, morenas
Mirem-se no exemplo
Daquelas mulheres de Atenas
Temem por seus maridos
Heróis e amantes de Atenas
As jovens viúvas marcadas
E as gestantes abandonadas
Não fazem cenas
Vestem-se de negro, se
Encolhem
Se conformam e se recolhem
Às suas novenas, serenas
(HOLANDA, Chico Buarque de. Meus caros amigos. LP, 1976.
