The flood of 1986 was a scary time – Consumers Power was afraid that the dams would not hold.
It has been called the 100 year flood. I remember the flood 1986 in in Michigan. The week of September 7th changed that. Sept. 11, 1986 the Muskegon River area experienced 14 inches of rain in a 48-hour period. This short segment is from the 150th Anniversary video produced for Big Rapids.
It was not just in Mecosta County. According to the Midland Daily News “The flood of 1986 is one of the most memorable and terrible events in the history of Midland and much of Michigan. The 500-year flood caused at least $58 million in damages locally.”

Where did the term for the 100 year flood come from? In 1886 the dams along the Muskegon river were tested. Six people died and 86 were injured with millions in damage.
The flood 1986, how likely is this to ever happen again? Known as a 100 year flood, even the 500 year flood. There have been flooded areas since then, but not involving the massive areas of real estate as was seen in September 1986.

After attending a Grand Rapids Inventors Network (GRIN) meeting (more on that below), John and Jen discuss how DW Video has helped them with their Inventor Videos. After talking with John, He has many ideas in his head, he loves coming up with ideas and then having Jen take and market them. These inventor videos… or marketing videos, promo videos and in some cases instructional videos… we tell their story.
John and Jen are the owners of Magnetic Marine Products – According to Jen, “Duane’s a piece of work”. What does that mean – watch the video.

Using today’s media to market your product is ideal for inventor videos.
Early on in the concept of the Gear Grabbar, the couple visited one of the GRIN meetings and were given very positive input that has moved them ahead in their venture. That was in 2009/2010. According to the GRIN website – “GRIN members include professionals, marketers, business owners, and consultants, as well as others with individual skills to help take an idea to the marketplace. We welcome inventors of all ages and experience levels.” Having an Inventor Video helps show off and highlight your product for others to see and purchase.
