- Flooding caused a more-than-100-year-old dam to be breached in Minnesota on Monday. It follows days of heavy rain throughout much of the Midwest, which has flooded states like Iowa and South Dakota. Jonah Kaplan has the latest.

Dont tell anyone but this happened in Calgary , the cause was the government wasn't monitoring the reservoirs properly and than they had to release too much water. Reservoirs need to be emptied well in advance of a large rain fall to prevent flooding
ALL dams and bridges are dangerous. They haven't been maintained. You take a risk every time you cross over! If you live below a dam, you should get the hell out of there.
We've been through many flood seasons here in California over the last few years so we kind of understand and hope for the best outcome for you. 😢💔
Many people are not aware of but there is a huge backlog of dams in the US. FEMA says there is about 27000 "at risk" dams across the US. The floodgates will literally open unless the government does something about it.
Maybe climate change will make it stop raining...that will fix everything.
Problem solved.
Beavers? 🦫
@@AndyDrake-FOOKYT Global Warming makes droughts drier-thus worse-and rains heavier-thus floods are also worse.
Nobody wants to pay taxes to maintain the infrastructure our previous generations built
We have to do something about Global Warming too, that will take time but it can be bad enough when dams are old. It gets worse when what they face are no longer what expectations of the time were.
I live a few miles from the damn. Everyone's basement is flooded. The whole town of Mankato, Minnesota smells likE RAW SEWAGE!!!!!!
Horrible 😢
🙏🙌🙏🙌😓🕊✝️our whole church is praying for you all.
Saint Paul is thinking about you.
I have a question...are y'all a sundown town?
@@conorkennedy3304 who is saint paul?
Praying for all the people. How absolutely horrible.
Dang. If only you had prayed beforehand, you could have prevented this.
@@positivelynegative9149 Lmao, ima believer but that was funny.
@@positivelynegative9149 lol
This sucks.
This happened to my parents and grandparent's lake houses back in 2020. The area still hasn't recovered. In addition to how much they lost, if they ever want their lake back they will probably be taxed for the repair. It will take decades to get back what was lost.
Or maybe just take the dam out so the river can heal..
I lost my house 4 years ago in a hurricane, still homeless. Hopefully and God willing that's finally changing in September. Recovering from disaster sucks.
@@Realmphukng How are you still alive?
@@colepattison6809I'm a badass.
@colepattison6809 my name and the hat in my picture shoulda gave that away😅
In all seriousness tho, I'm a gen x army veteran, I've survived worse for longer. Plus I'm very adaptable in any situation from lifelong practice.
Oh no, this is terrible. Prayers to those affected. Worldwide heatwaves and now floods, mother nature is screaming 😢
Praying for all the people involved. 😢
People that built and maintain are gone.
I was born in southern minn it would be helpful if you said where
Blue earth county,Mankato area.
Southwest of Blue Earth. My family lives in Spirit Lake Iowa.
Mankato
@@wyomingadventures o I like spirit lake
Prayers. Get ready to move. The weather is and will always be a huge factor in life. You must prepare for it. Not later. Now.
This isn't the usual weather. And it will become less and less the usual weather as the coming years go by. Preparation is a good idea. However a question is to prepare for what exactly. Old trends and expectations aren't holding true anymore.
Flooding in this area is not common at all. I grew up not far from Spencer Iowa. My family still lives close by.
Water damage is another animal.. Correct; months or even years to rectify..
TY for the news report!
Why didn't they build a dam bypass to release dangerously high water levels?
Thats because our money goes to the corrupt zelinsky of Ukraine and to that faraway state overseas that controls our congress and tells our president what to do ?
Why didn’t they maintain the removal of debris!!
Because 100 years ago the river and water level was different and it was fine. Hindsight is 2020
The dam water bypassed it, duuuuuh silly 😊
@@user-peach408 Too cheap to have it done. They would rather squander money lining politicians pockets and social programs.

For a mare $1B donations, Trump told the oil companies he’ll rollback environmental protections. Who really going to pay the price?
What does that have to do with anything?
Oil companies drilled through the dam?
You people are ridiculous.
Good point. Trump selling out the US costs more than people would even initially guess.
@@AndyDrake-FOOKYT Easy, oil and coal companies caused more Global Warming. Global Warming causes more floods.
100yrs old, never thought of a update, and everything these days is record setting even though there's been way worse.
That's most of the US infrastructure.
Oh stop
It hasn't been way worse for about a hundred years at that damn, it hasn't come down until now
@@tinygrimyou stop
It survived the 1993 floods. They should've planned ahead then.
Prayers
Damn, that's messed up.
Oh how sad
Last year was a horrible drought!
Yeah, Global Warming brings both droughts and floods. It would be nice if there were a calmer middle between the 2 but that is the opposite of what it does.
Nature fighting back. Rivers want to be free.
My thoughts and prayers for the people who have to face this horrible tragedy 🙏 May God bless you all and carry you through this disaster 🙏 💔🙏
Try actually giving money to relief efforts, that is real, gods are not. If the gods were real, they would have intentionally caused said disaster, and absolutely do not need the prayers. Fortunately all the 100,000 + gods you refer to are completely imaginary. Try to pray to people like the Red Cross, and emergency services trying to help these people - they are real.
The build back better should help these citizens.
Spencer Iowa is not where the damn failed. Why aren't you doing this from the Blue Earth area?
Our help comes from only one place, above. Praying
That's who's doing this. All Praises to The Most High
Praying doesn’t help
Praying can help, however not lying about and actually attempting to address Global Warming will help too.
@@pplr1 global warming? The earth is warming up and will continue to get hotter but not by man's doing. Isn't that what global warming is...done by man's hands somehow?
@@pplr1 any way who's lying about it?
That is so sad!
I'm wondering where the water from that dam will go? will it head south towards Spirit Lake/Okaboji? Down towards Spencer? I don't think we can take much more... I feel for the ones downstream. Be aware and safe!!
No, it's by Mankato. I know you have been flooding. I grew up in Spirit Lake. My mom lives in Lake Park. Her town had flooding.
Show me the maintenance of damn documents!!!!??? Show that the people
Cloud seeding has consequences.
Ah yes, someone who would like to bs rather than mention Global Warming even as the latter causes people real world problems.
Recorded horizontally:) and vertically:(
When your state and local government fail you
All they care about is that no “migrants” suffered any loss caused by the floods.
It’s a flood do you think your governor will just go, go go gadget bad weather stop existing
Strange how when everything fails people resort to praying.
The avenue has a current
Could they sue the state/city for not keeping it safe
No.
Last Thursday Night/Friday morning the sky just opened like a faucet! We were getting 5 inches an hour!! I have never seen anything like it for so long!!!
@lisastevens682 my mom lives in Lake Park Iowa and everyone's basement is flooded. She got 12 inches in 4 days.
Actually sue a few oil or coal companies. It is high time they cover the costs Global Warming brings.
@@lisastevens682 Yes, Global Warming brings heavier rains than usual. This is-sadly-somewhat expected and even more events like this are likely to come in the next decade or 2..
.....damn.....
Blockchain or LLM or AI won’t fix the outdated infrastructures. Invest in infrastructures before it’s too late.
We actually are. Minnesota has been rebuilding all its roads and bridges since the 35W Bridge collapse in 2007. I’d like to think dams are somewhere on that list, but I don’t know for sure.
@itsmini6175 as someone who was in Minneapolis last week I can confirm MN does a HORRIBLE job maintaining infrastructure.
Where at in Minnesota?
Mankato
@@batcactus6046probably a few sundown towns along the way
He's actually wrong about lakes being nearby---- the Iowa Great Lakes (Okoboji, Spirit Lake, etc.) are just up the road a few miles.
Also lakes are not big flood threats (aside from a dam burst)...you need flood insurance for rivers.
Even a dam burst isn't flooding the homes near the lake...it's flooding things down stream.
Exactly my family lives in the Lakes area.
We lost a ten pluus acre lake in under 40 min in 2008 floods ( 3rd 100 uear flood in under 12 years)
Yes. Global Warming changes the odds of a heavy rain and flood. It is no longer 100 year storms.
I am vary worried about kitty sd guy 1234 , I haven't seen him in hours i hope the water hasn't drown him. He has been eating too much im afraid he will sink!
Don’t tell ppl to leave make sure people got money and transportation to leave
Only good neighbors will help
basic Florida building codes
1 - your garage floor must be higher than the crown of the road
2 - the main floor of the home must be +4" higher than the garage
3 - home must be the high point of the property and all grades must slope to the property line
.
there's simply no excuse for flood damage to a major structure if the road is still uncovered.
Instead, don't build in a flood plain. If you must, the finished floors are best to be at least 24" above the 1000 year flood plain.
I live somewhere with actual terrain and you just can't build all houses above the road without putting them on stilts. If the house is sited on a hillside (which is arguably most in a hilly area), then it must sit 24-48" above the highpoint of the adjacent grade, with positive drainage to all sides, and swales/ pipes, walls to divert 'upstream' runoff away from structure.
Spencer isn't a flood plain. And Florida vs Iowa is totally different. For one soil. Iowa and Minnesota have rich soil. That's why crops are grown there. The water table is way different than Florida.
@@wyomingadventures
still zero excuse for the road being dry while the mall is flooded.
@@matthewtuel2747
that's fine. now show me ANY picture from this news story from the relevant area in Minnesnowta in which such terrain is relevant to what i'm talking about.
@odnamsrazor2364 have you ever been there? Because I used to live there. Have you ever heard of flash flooding? You don't make any sense. Of course some roads will be dry in places. Because they aren't in a low spot. Use some common sense. Higher ground isn't going to flood like lower ground.
Excellent, less dams more wild rivers
I have family in the area and they are vacationing and probably not looking at news while on vacation. Why can't the news provide what towns and what damn is in breach so we know what part of Minnesota this is at?
wow
Thanks, Jesus! Let me pray to you to help those you hurt with this flood. 🙏🙏
does it ever occur to you that God/Jesus is the REASON for this? God is supposed to be everywhere, and all good. so why does an all powerful perfectly good being allow bad things to happen to good people?
funny enough, god answers prayers at the same rate as Joe Pesci answers prayers, about 50% of the time. its almost as if god doesn't do anything, and its PEOPLE who do things, no matter what god would want. just like Joe Pesci.
@@alericjohansen6775 We need to pray to George Carlin, obviously.
@@alericjohansen6775 When I pray, and I get what I want, the Lord answers prayers. When I pray, and I don't get what I want, it's all part of God's plan. I can't lose! Praise Jesus!🙏🙏
@@runswithfish3830
so its either:
1) pray and get what you want
or
2) pray and don't get what you want, but that's okay, its part of his plan
that basically should be summed up as
1)pray, no matter the outcome, god did it
That's a really dumb way to think. you presupposed the result to be god, rather than look at the evidence and see what ACTUALLY happened and why.
@@runswithfish3830i imagine your whyte jesus takes care of his own huh? And the Creator of this universe is gonna take care of His. The sheep and the goats...the wheat and the tares are being divided as we speak
You think there would be something like emergency drainage system for something like this.
Was this because of poor maintenance?
Certainly one of the factors. So much of our infrastructure is not ready for more of these extremes.
@@bhambholeprobably alot
@@jlopez3a indeed
NO has ZERO factor. It's called to much Rain.
@@sshumkaer its called judgement
ask your agent for a replacment ins.....this will cover your loses
Only if you have flood insurance which most of them don’t because it’s not needed.
If they live near a river, it's needed.
Crazy expensive so they gambled that there wouldn't be a flood.
They lost this year...but they won the previous hundred years.
There are exclusions like for floods and riots and war.
They tend not to cover widespread disasters because they will be out of business if everyone makes a claim at once...if they go out of business then NOBODY has insurance.
If your house burns down they will cover it...not so much if EVERYONE'S house burns down.
May God have mercy on them.
Where is the dam located?! Headline says MN but then for some reason they were in IA. Is it literally on the border between the two?
By Blue Earth Minnesota. Close to Mankato
Where in minnesota!? What towns are you talking about.
The dam is just south and west of Mankato (Mankato is down river)
About 10 miles sw of Mankato. My good friend lives in Fairmont and the nearly two weeks of heavy rain have already flooded his yard completely and got into his basement. Now these Blue Earth River waters may actually reach his town...
@@angelakuelbs9319 is that a sundown?
@louisejones5773 possibly in the past, highly unlikely currently?
Blue Earth Co. Mankato area.
Sad
🙏🇺🇸
Psalms 112:1-2 (NIV)
1 “I lift my eyes up to the mountains - where does my help come from?”
2 “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven & earth”
I hope this encourages anyone going through this flood, but also anyone who is having a hard time. 💛 the Lord is never too far, seek him.
How dramatic. This type of reporting is great for traumatizing people, too.
IT WAS NOT FLOODING. it was because the dam had so much trash against it….it needed to be cleaned so the gates would open
We didn't listen
sue the government they dont invest in infrastructure
Sue the government, get money, and then give it back in taxes so they can "fix infrastructure?"
Sounds efficient.
sue God for stalling that storm.
Well we did help Ukraine and Isreal. Will there be assistance coming from them?
Tentu saja ada

Build Back Better is broken.
😂😂😂😂😂
Oh, me, oh, my!
Its almost like it wasn’t intentional. FJB
Wow! JB can make it RAIN?? Vote Blue! We have a god for a candidate!!
@@cryptidsntunes no he cant, but he says he can. Either way, if a cat gets stuck in a tree: FJB!! Of course I meant by deliberate dereliction of maintenance, likely a “funding” issue (like housing Ay-rahbs). Until it becomes a disaster the people cry out to their government to control. So you see any way you dissect it, of course it’s FJBs fault. FJB!!
When Trump was in office, the rain required an approval from daddy to even consider falling.
praise the LORD, let the rain fall
Please get out the River going to the city saved safe God bless you all and God saved safe you all
This is so awful 😢. Why could not this been solved before this happened. Politics.
I’m glad they haven’t touched that 2.6 TRILLION DOLLARS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE,, they can use it now..
It's in Ukraine.
We need to work on dams and bridges in Ukraine.
Much more important.
"It's in Ukraine." Somebody is lying hard for his 5 rubles today. All aid to Ukraine is less than 200B. The last military budget (a repeat thing) was over 800B. Trump's Tax cut was well over 2T. Helping Ukraine is comparatively cheap and well worth it.
@@pplr1wow you're totally clueless. 😂
@@wyomingadventures Is this account #2 of someone really trying to get his 5 rubles today? Maybe not or maybe. Either way there is a bit of irony coming from calling someone "clueless" for pointing out the correct math.

Nothing is built.
Nothing is back.
Nothing is better.
40 years of GOP has RUINED The Nation - David Stockman
And for sure NOTHING was proposed, passed, or completed under your dear leader's reign. Funds were given to the states. It will take more then one bill to fix the infostructure in this country, but at lest the Dems got something started.
Except for things that are already getting or done being rebuilt.
Next time build a real DAM ! Making America great again!
Didn't a bridge fall down in that same place years ago and people died?
An interstate bridge In Minneapolis collapsed a long time ago. Around 06 or 07 maybe
Same state...not same place.
@@farmerthatflies Yes, but none of them should be falling , because of all the taxes we pay.
I just blinked.
The beavers would've repaired it.
Send that water to arizona
Help has to come from the state it's their dam,
Wrong. Federal government needs to fix the roads and infrastructures. Every state gets Federal help for that. And Biden hasn't do crap but give our money to other countries.
Wholly smokes - see you can really report real news - instead of Democratic Propaganda - WOW 😳
Its raining in merica? I need car or boat?😅
Perhaps if USA wasn't fighting in 3 different wars today, we would have money for our own people?
As East Lebanon OH sets the bar low as to how much the feds under this admin will help.
Blame local government
Blame the Biden administration
Normal weather for this time of year. stealing money collected to maintain this dam is the reason it is failing.
True, this dam breaches and is rebuilt every year.
If your a Dem your help will come from JB. If your GOP not so fast.
Really look at the massive damage to Palestine, Ohio, Lahaina, Hawaii!
Giving americans money to other countries ,while we literally crumble apart
Not a lot of lakes around there? Isn't the state slogan "Land of ten* thousand lakes"?
Damn!
I like your shirt open a little extra, just to show the star of david.
Rumors are, the last person who was last seen next to the damn before it failed was Putin.
Looks like a hundred-year flood.
Very sad, Global Warming has many victims and can cause much destruction. More and worse floods are something Global Warming brings.
A 100 year old damb in need of upgrades . To bad Joey's sending all our hard earned tax dollars to Ukraine instead of fixing the infrastructure.
I call bs. 1st Biden is spending on infrastructure. 2nd all the US help to Ukraine totals less than 200B, meanwhile Trump blew well over 2T on his tax cut.
They need to get a tug boat in there and latch on those logs and pull them away
How many more years will people be able to live on the planet?;😢
Strad of evacuate ehy some body do not try to clean the Dawm first
How are you going to remove debris DURING a flood?
6 minutes in! I hope I didnt miss much.
Try God. Repent first.
Jeezus, give it a rest...
Maybe the dam could use some of that Ukraine funding.
This has nothing to do with global warming lol
