Could have been saved if we didn’t send all that money to Ukraine.
Decaying infrastructure. Decaying borders. Decaying culture. Decaying morality. Sure seems like the death of an empire. But dammit, we’ve got a whole month dedicated to how people fornicate. That’s worth something, right?
As our infrastructure ages and is maintained by mouth-breathing DEI hires get used to more of these dam failures.
FF: Is your friend in harm’s way?
Wow

WTH?? Rip that dam out! So what if it destroys lives!!
It’s not natural! Remove the damn dam!
More flooding and flash flooding in South Dakota, northern Iowa and southeastern Minnesota.
Anyone ever see pictures of Chinese cities? The infrastructure is clean and modern.
We spent all this money on wars and foreign aid while neglecting our own people.
It was later revealed an Xcel Energy substation located at the dam was actually washed away. It supplied power to some 600 customers, local law enforcement said.

In March 2023, Blue Earth County began the Federal Energy Regulation Commission licensure exemption surrender process for the Rapidan Dam since the dam is no longer generating hydroelectricity.
Oh cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do no good
If the area to the right of the damn is earth and not bedrock it will fail. I hope it is bedrock.
In two lakes near me and they are big lakes, Stillhouse and Belton, the emergency spillway is several hundred yards wide and cut into the bedrock. In the last 35 years both have been utilized twice. The flow into the lake exceeded the capacity of the damns to release water and the lakes rose. Everything was okay as the emergency spillways worked as designed. On most occasions the Corp of engineers get it right. They did not in New Orleans and the Katrina Hurricane.
Little boy buttagig can go put his finger in it.
I’ve got family and friends in the decimated areas of Iowa and SD. It’s absolutely horrible.
Pray for these people.
Dunno. In that flood vid they have, it’s the California flag flying, very different from Minnesota.
