A Michigan business's drainage changes sent excess rainwater onto a neighbouring property, causing years of flooding and damage to the house and garage. An appeals court revised the homeowner's $170,000 award to $102,000, while upholding $50,000 in emotional distress damages under the nuisance claim.
