Leslie Meyers, operator of dams in Antrim County, talks to IPR from the site of the Bellaire Dam. She says there are reasons to hope, but also plenty of reasons to stay vigilant as more rains are expected Friday night.

Also, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer visits the Cheboygan Dam.

And at the end of a long week, a couple laughs with a renewed euphoniumist. Don't know what that word means? Listen to the end to find out.
