A combination of high winds and rising water levels on Lake Michigan flooded streets in New Buffalo on October 31.

Video uploaded to Facebook by drone operator Nathan Voytovick shows the winds whipping up high waves, and water overflowing onto lakeside streets.

In the post, Voytovick warned road users, “Please don’t drive through huge puddles or closed roads, they are deeper then they seem.”

Speaking to WSBT, New Buffalo city manager David Richards said he expected more floods of this kind. “Before it freezes, we’re going to be experiencing this again,” he said. Credit: Nathan Voytovick via Storyful
