 The wake from cars, not boats, sprayed skyward like rooster tails and sent rolling waves over sidewalks in Detroit and throughout southeastern Detroit Monday.Water came up to the bottom of parked cars, and over the top of curbs along Lumpkin in Hamtramck, as vehicles precariously tried to part the road-sea on the way to their destinations.Further south, state trooper completely blocked Interstate 75 south about 7 p.m. due to standing water that was causing traffic problems. State police are asking motorists to stay off the roads unless it's an emergency.
