#Minnesota #Flooding #Dam
I'm pretty sure it did fail about an hour ago. At least that's what the news in Minnesota is saying.
Partial failure.
Just get out of the way!!!
My parents live in Rapidan but were evacuated last night. It's still standing as far as they know
let loose the 100,000 beaver army...
Probably the culprit here
Sound would be great. Commentary on what's happening and the impacts on people? Nothing?
I've never heard of crazy fish before, but you seem to be the lady that would know all about that!
I do have a crazy dog however, and know that this can often times be a problem for sure!
Chopper blades

They cant afford that up there lol poor SOBs
I imagine @Post10 doing the play-by-play in my head, and I'm okay with it.
Hope folks got out of the way
Seems a bit late to issue an evac order--hope they have time to get out.
My family is there. It didn't break and the city doesn't expect it to.
That's scary for everyone down stream
I was thinking the same thing, as our state is down stream from them via Mississippi River.
🤔I would say its already a failure
🤔🤔😮
What’s down stream? Why don’t you show that?
The city of North Mankato.
It hasn't broke and the city dies not expect it to
No wonder with all that debris in the way!
That's what I thought too.
Remember the bridge in Minneapolis? Does Minnesota have a major infrastructure problem?
Every state does
The whole country has a infrastructure problem, so yes it probably does.
How bout that build back better 💩⁉️
@@deewonders6959How bout that Republican party that won't vote to do anything constructive for the country?
People in Minnesota are poor craftsman
@@treehuggerdeluxe5598How about 60 billion for the Ukraine, 10 billion the Israel
Looks to me like it already failed, and it is not "imminent" like the title of this video says. Fully functional dams don't look like that. (Just sayin')
Send the water to
Arizona
And California as well.
I guess it didn’t get built back better 🤷♂️
Oh goodness 🤦♂️ I hope nobody gets hurt or their property destroyed 😢 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I thinking i would be taking the higher bridge in this one
THE JUDGEMENT IS HERE!
IT HAS BEGUN!
We flood every rainstorm that produces 3” or more. All because the rail road and state both say the log jams are the other entities fault. Full sized 100’ trees block the water from going through the bridges passage. Great town for tgat. Only a couple homes are always in danger of waging us away.
If there were 50 homes they’d do something. I’m gonna complain more about it to get my taxes lowered again.
Well . That’s not going to help anything,
What part of Minnesota is this?
Southern, Southwest of Mankato
Thankfully Minnesota has a huge population of doctors and engineers.
Glad everything stop upstream but sooner or later you will realize the concern is downstream
So… where did all the “tax dollars collected” for maintenance go; check all the local politicians/judges/etc. for bulging pockets and off shore bank accounts!
It was due to be replaced 5 years ago, but republicans shot down the funding.
Heard it failed already.
Water is so powerful
AND WE KEEP spending money on the immigrants and campaigning!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a joke, Cmon man!
@@tr7938 I think it is truthful.
Yup
Which river?
The Lazy River
This river 😮 or river phenix 😮
Blue Earth River.
Please carefully get out the River going to the city saved safe God bless you all and God saved safe you all
Oh I see why it failed, in record water levels you let the debris build up. Lazy. Just plain lazy. One mini excavator could have cleared that as it happened for a few days. Lose millions to save less than a thousand.
They should have been raking the rivers & streams upstream.
Horrible situation
hope the plwers that be are taking action asap!
Dams are failing here in the USA but let's send more money to Ukraine
They have to keep the money laundering going.
What does this have to do with ukraine?
This was caused by flooding nothing I've seen was indicating that the dame was in poor condition.
Most of the money that is going to ukraine was spent years ago. They are getting our old stock pile of weapons and Munitions that has been sitting in storage for years and are nearing there expiration date. Most of The money is actually spent here in the US to replace what we gave them with modern equipment.
This administration is doing a great job of protecting our infrastructure. Good job Pete BootyJuice!
It opened up its own relief spillway it'll be fine.
What towns or cities affected?
Mmm looks like it already did…. Lester.
What can they do to fix it before it breaks?
Nothing
It's already done. Sky News is live streaming it. That white house is soon to be washed away.
Silly buddy? Or a really big sponge or shop vac😮
Gorilla glue😊
By the way it looks, not much can be done...but removing some of the debris would help somewhat...🤔
Imminent failure means, not imminently.
And Ukraine has all the US infrastructure 💰!
No they don't lolol
@@annlane6540
Actually yes they do
@Joe_Brown99 please with all the toddlers quit whining and learn who to read a spreadsheet before making ridiculed claims.
@@Fordgroup00, Actually no they don't. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@alexiskiri9693the folks that were in LD classes in middle school have grown into illiterate adults. 54% of the country has a 6th grade reading level or worse.
Watch out be low
New Mexico could use a little water.
probably certified solid as a rock by a guvment inspector, prior to the monsoon.
Yup makes sense since theres been none stop rain here for te past week and a half. Lets send more money to foreign countries for their wars instead of improving our own infrastructure to help our own citizens.
The white house looks iffy
that persons house is gone
Maybe it’s a good thing. It might wash the the bad down stream.
Clearly not on Post 10's patrol path.
What a mess
If you let beavers do there job. We would not be in this mess.
If you get rid of the water then only criminals will have water, duh! The only way to fight bad water is with good water 💦 💦 💦 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Blue Earth River
Isn't Minnesota a blue state?🤔
Where is all the water gonna go?
Only gravity knows
To the Minnesota River, then into the Mississippi.
Plenty of money for Ukraine and Israel tho
A knickerbocker glory of disaster ....
Imagine being a fish and all of a sudden a white bag floats by
Breaking
Hey Minn where is your tax money going?,Looks like a certain Gov forgot about Infrastructure,good luck people
Did Trump do this too ?
Wait for the Hollywood film crews to arrive.
OOOO SNAP!!!!!!!😲😲😲😲😲😲
just Run for your lifes before is too late
DamNation documentary warned that our Government doesn't fund this Army Corp Of Eng since the President who built them all. 😢
Trump infrastructure bill inaction.
Biden Infrastructure Bill
That’s exactly why we need the Biden infrastructure bill. This problem didn’t just happen in the last few days, months or even years. It’s been a problem for a very long time. The whole country is suffering from problems such as this. But instead of addressing them the Republicans want to give tax breaks to billionaires, so they will keep them in office. Instead of taking care of our future.
@@markabbott2281if you think that the money from the “infrastructure bill” is actually going to infrastructure then your a fool. It’s like the immigration bill that was like 3% about immigration when all Biden had to do was enforce what was on the books. Just more excuses to spend money with hidden clauses added for the pet projects and their pockets
Biden's money laundering bill is more accurate.
@@markabbott2281 You really should read it, and see where the VAST MAJORITY of that money is slated to go, not for infrastructure.
Where was trump's?
Wow
Send in the beavers
The governor wanted it to happen .
Yep
It was planned.. !
You always this dumb or is today special?
i thought biden's infrastructure bill was supposed to prevent things like this
Trump contractor
FFS! Do you not understand that it's DECADES of neglect! Eejet! Stupid maga brain.....
, the money goes to Ukraine. And in Minnesota he money goes to figuring out the difference between a boy and girl.
How horrible.... retrumplicans will politicize anything...
Stop spreading your malicious lies. The money goes to the poor defenseless blms committing crimes. No wait , it goes to the community programs to help blms. Oh wait, no it's going to some fake program in your community aimed at helping you Avert your attention to the blms crime wave culture.
Nihil inultum remanebit.
Ура, пусть смоет всё
REMAIN CALM........ JOE BIDEN DOESN'T CARE
Imagine the money sent to Ukraine could be used to build back better infrastructure here in America
Keep the damms clean that's why it failed 😂
🙏🙏🙏
Biden
Beautiful
May it all come down and free the fishes and nature 😂😂😂
So fish lives are more important than the lives of your fellow human beings? Out of the mouth your heart just spoke. If I was a friend of yours, I would reconsider.
@@sues3218
You love dog over human beings; right?
With the white man Esau in power everything is in captivity lol 😂
Free them all🫡
😮
Hey engineers,let’s put our offices below the spillway..
Is climate change real enough yet?
Weatherization Control
Where is Buttigieg.
I've lived in Minnesota... as soon as i left i got smarter
Prayers are needed from everyone in America from last Friday till July 12. Anywhere you are in America, prayers are needed. From the current prophet of Umuezumezu

Democratic infrastructure. What shold we expect.
You might not believe in climate change but climate change believes in you
Climate has always been changing.
