Other vehicles can be seen parked and abandoned on the side of the road.
Although the water captured in the video isn’t incredibly deep, the rest of Detroit, and all of its freeways, have been plagued by storm-induced floods over the past weekend.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a State of Emergency in Wayne County because of the flooding on Saturday, and has submitted a request for a presidential declaration of disaster.
The State of Emergency allows the Michigan State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division (MSP/EMHSD) to increase state efforts to aid the situation, along with local resources.
Whitmer tweeted: “I’ve activated the Michigan State Emergency Operations Center in response to flooding across the state. As communities continue to experience extraordinary rainfall, this will help us better direct resources to meet local needs.”
According to WXYS Detroit, more than 47,000 metro Detroit residents are still without power and some areas of Detroit saw over six inches of rain.
Important freeways like the I-94 were forced to close over the weekend, with stretches of it still remaining closed due to flooding, according to CBS.
On June 26, the MSP Metro Detroit tweeted that “All freeways in Wayne County still have flooding issued and those freeways where water has receded are now littered with abandoned vehicles.”
“The TikTok is funny but the reality of it is actually really sad,” wrote one viewer of the video.
“Above all, drivers can always return to station if necessary or contact us for additional help via their Delivery App.”
The video showed houses in the background heavily damaged by the tornado and surrounded by rubble and debris spread across front yards.
Similarly, that video was also sound tracked by Bo Burnham’s “Bezos I”.
Newsweek has contacted Brigid Tepe for comment.
