DETROIT (FOX 2) - Give yourself a little extra time on your morning commute Wednesday; overnight rain has flooded freeways around Detroit.

Roads started flooding Tuesday night amid a flood advisory that ended at 11 p.m. Though some of the water is receding, as of 9:50 a.m. Wednesday, water remains.

Beyond flooding, severe thunderstorms also uprooted trees and caused damage for some Metro Detroit communities, like Warren, where a tree crashed through an SUV.
