I know this is not that big of a deal, but I used live near here and for the locals, this is a really big deal:
Fuel tanker overturns, closing US-41 in Hancock
While the accident closed US-41, the main highway through town, it was the few thousand gallons of gasoline that was spilled which was the biggest concern for the local people as it poured into the storm drain system and eventually spilling into Portage Lake, which separates the cities of Houghton and Hancock, in Michigan's UP (Upper Peninsula):
The ellipse is where the accident was and the arrow is where the storm drain poured into the lake.
Note that a month from now, during the week of July 18th, my wife and I (and much of our family) will be in the Houghton/Hancock area.
