Still waiting for the Three Gorges dam to collapse and wash away a portion of China.

Wow

[JennysCool]

Made In China.

Figures.

Similar footage from an earthen dam failure in Wisconsin a few years back.

I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Well, if the Chicoms had listen to Jesus to build on rock, not sand, then the building wouldn’t have been ruined.

When the floods came and the wind blew, the Chinese house collapsed.

Oh, there’s Fang Fang again.

Almost missed it.

Did Swallwell bang bang this Fang Fang?

Keep in mind that building was made of cardboard and packing tape in the usual Chinese way. Still, very impressive. It’s a wonder that Three Gorges dam hasn’t given way yet. I suspect the authorities are deliberately rerouting the waters and allowing other areas to flood in an attempt to avoid having their showcase project collapse for all the world to see.

"...earthen dam failure..."

It was pretty spectacular!

Lots of damage and Lake Delton was flat-out GONE - sucked into the Wisconsin River.

But, it's fixed now, and full again. :)

Me too. Interesting that it’s happening in China, near Wuhan. Perhaps some omnipotent Being is a little ticked off with China for the pandemic.

Although, isn’t China officially atheist? So if they don’t believe in God, guess they’ve got nothing to worry about. ;)

But Tommy Bartlett’s still gone, right?

[glennaro]

Makes you think twice about driving across a swollen stream during a big storm, doesn’t it?

[minnesota_bound]

That building falling down in China could just be because it is a tuesday and not because of any rain.

[EEGator]

Don’t get my hopes up...

[SaveFerris]

Yep. Decades ago somebody did that here. The whole family was lost when the car was swept away.

Tragic. 😔

[NWFree]

That will save the commies from having to dynamite another building.

Hey, can we get some of that rain shipped over here?
