Listen Later

On Monday, residents of Southwest Detroit woke up to their cars submerged in water, their basements flooded, and their electricity and furnaces off after a 54-inch steel water transmission main ruptured in the area of Beard and Rowan streets, amid freezing temperatures. To provide more info about the relief efforts and how residents are holding up, WDET's Bre'Anna Tinsley joined The Metro. We also spoke with Greg Martin, executive director of Disaster Relief at Work — an organization that’s been on the ground, supporting disaster relief efforts.

Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on-demand.
