one of the most dangerous curses is " may you live in interesting times " and we sure do... in the middle of February, a water supply pipe burst, and the next morning, one street was 5 feet deep in ice

A burst water pipe and plummeting temperatures resulted in a flooded Detroit street becoming covered in a thick layer of ice — up to five feet thick in some parts, according to local reports.

A consequence of dropping temperatures is the possibility of water main breaks.

These breaks occur when the pipes get cold and contract, and then warm up and expand. This repeated process over time can cause the pipes to burst, resulting in chaos that can impact entire neighborhoods and cities.

A 54 inch water main that was roughly 100 years old burst in the early morning hours near the corner of Rowan and Beard Street.
