  "textContent": "Cheboygan Dam in northern Michigan rose to within 20 cm (8 inches) of overtopping by early April 14, 2026, despite emergency pumping, gate removals, and efforts to restore a shuttered hydroelectric station to increase discharge. The National Weather Service said Flood Watches remained in effect across much of northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula as heavy rain, melting snow, and saturated ground continued to drive runoff into rivers, streams, and low-lying areas.\n\nSource",
