ANN ARBOR, MI — Current conditions on the Huron River are hazardous, the Ann Arbor Fire Department cautions.
The department warned of dangerous flows in a social media video post Monday, April 27, saying firefighters responded to a report of a person struggling in the river near the Broadway bridges on Sunday. Fortunately the paddle boarder was able to reach shore prior to their arrival, according to the department.
The river is flowing above 1,200 cubic feet per second, which is a dangerous current, according to the department, which describes 1,000 cubic feet per second as “a volume equivalent of having 4,000 basketballs coming at you every second.”…
