Floodwater unleashed by two dam failures in Midland County, Michigan, overflowed the nearby Smallwood lake dam.

Drone footage shows brown water rushing through the Smallwood dam as a bulldozer pushes rocks into the water to stem the flow.

Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Midland County and encouraged residents to evacuate or relocate to local shelters.
