Flooding problems aren't limited to rivers and valleys.

And it's making travel dangerous.

But it's also making it nearly impossible for townships that are running out of money to find ways to finance the repairs that are required.

One township official says the state legislature needs to take quick action to help out.

He says he recorded more than 113 inches of snow at his farm this winter. watch the video | save this article / add to your favorites list
