Minnesota dam flood threats have ‘somewhat flatlined’: Official | NewsNation Now

The Rapidan Dam on the Blue Earth River in Minnesota experienced a "partial failure" on its western support structure due to debris blockage, which caused water to erode the western bank. Officials provided an update on the dam's condition Tuesday morning, saying it is now the second-largest flood recorded at the Rapidan Damn. While there is still a high-level concern for flooding, Ryan Thilges, the Blue Earth County Public Works director, said their concern has begun to flatline.

It's not like you'd want to get a helicopter and claw and get those trees out of the middle..... Even now it would help send it through where it's supposed to go.

Land of 10,000 Lakes.....I wonder why? I got a kick out of the fact that the media is talking about the flooded town of Waterville. I wonder how that town got that name?

[@MDFire150]

...because it's built between two lakes.

[@robynowski2945]
