(WNEM) – Water buildup from rounds of heavy rain has impacted all of Mid-Michigan, including areas of Iosco and Arenac counties. TV5 spoke with someone who lives along the Rifle River, as well as the owner of the Au Sable River Store to get their thoughts on all the water.“The thing of it is right now, is that it’s been this high steady for like four days, so we’re not really sure what it’s going to be doing, you know, what’s really going to be after this all subsides, what’s going to be left for the mess to clean up,” said Arenac County Resident Kim Koin.The unknown is a concern for Koin, who lives along the Rifle River. She said the high water is having an impact on the Rifle River Campground.“All of that would be camping sites over there, and those are definitely underwater,” said Koin. “And here’s where we put our canoes up, and we have a dock and everything, but it’s just, the river is so wide, it’s crazy.”In Iosco County, Kelly Hume, owner of the Au Sable River Store, said her business has gone through bouts of flooding.“It dries up, then we get water, we dry it up again, we take on water again,” said Hume. “Our back room has never been without water since Monday morning.”Hume said she has been able to keep all of the inventory dry. She is hoping the weather follows suit.“We would just like some relief in the rain,” said Hume. “Sun would be nice. Just we need things to dry up.”“We’ve been here a number of years, and some of my neighbors have been here for 20 plus, and they all said they’ve never seen anything like this ever,” said Resident Bill Polk. “It’s unbelievable.”Polk has a home on Van Etten Lake. He said he is hoping the worst is behind him. “We’re all kind of crossing our fingers and hoping that, you know, it continues to de-escalate here.Same goes for Koin who is hoping the Rifle River Campground can open by May 1.“We’re happy that the river is flowing as well as it is, so hopefully it just keeps flowing, and it don’t keep coming back up on the land and taking our stuff out,” said Koin.We will have to wait and see how long it will be before a prolonged stretch of dry weather comes to give some relief to these folks in Arenac and Iosco counties.Subscribe to the WNEM TV5 newsletter and receive the latest local news and weather straight to your email every day.</div></body>
