A woman died after being hit by a ray on a boat.  As you might imagine, officials call it a ‘freak accident’.  In the midwest, the water woes are much different.  Flood waters continue to rise.  While, it looks like Hillary Clinton’s push for a re-vote in Michigan may be dead.  And, in Indiana, some drivers are getting REFUNDS for the gasoline they bought at the pump. Read below for the details.  Here’s your Afternoon Buzz:
