They were back up and running once Lake Delton was filled up again, but they ‘retired’ in 2020 after 69 years. Another Covid Casualty. :(

Saw the ‘Ski, Sky & Stage’ show a number of times as a kid and young adult. It was a great way to spend a summer evening in The Wisconsin Dells.

The amazing thing to me is the three-story building completely disappears within seconds. Well, a tornado could beat that but then you can’t watch very well.

Maybe if we could just get that green new deal that would help these people.

Hello? Will my Renters insurance cover this? No I can’t prove there was ever an apartment building here.

Water always wins. It might take some time. But it will always win.

nearly 19 inches of rain in a 24-hour span.

Hard to imagine. 2-3 inches floods the roads here.

"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."

According to the Chinese government, no one was injured. Just like when that miles-long tunnel filled up with water during rush hour traffic a couple of months ago. Or when the subways were running while the water was up to the necks of passengers standing on the seats. No one was killed or injured. Now let’s talk about this bridge you wanted to buy from me.

Yes, we got to see it a few times well before 2020, one of the better shows to watch at the dells.

I’ve read that dams are a huge strategic vulnerability for China.
