Nobody could have predicted a 114 year old dam failing
Well to be fair, the dam didn't fail, it just got clogged up with debris and the water found its own path around the dam.
dams never cramp
😂
Are you being sarcastic? Why wouldn't a 114 year old dam fail?
I'm from Europe. Never planed to travel there. And even I know you have such dams.
It's sad what's happening to those residents. It's even more sad how many people don't see what's really going on here.
Ok, what’s really going on here? Clue me in.
@@jeffreylindley845 We'd need a different dynamic to discuss that.
A warmer atmosphere can hold more water, that comes down sooner or later. It basic physics. Floodings like this are in the rise all around the world.
@@monkfishmondfinsternis3162 The oceans rise and fall with de-glaciation and glaciation. To assign more rain to a specific cause is a fools errand.
@@monkfishmondfinsternis3162 I'm sure that's a big part of it. Makes me feel bad for people living near those areas.
The footage of the erosion around the Rapidan Dam shows the incredible force of the raging water. Incredible images!
CBS evening news shouldn’t blame “climate change “ like honestly that dem needed upgraded. 🙄😒
@@seanpetaia Why? This is natural climate change. There's been times in history where places under the ocean were above ground and the other way around. It's going to change and there's nothing we can do about it.
The Rapidan dam was debated to be torn out years ago.If this dam fails at this point the river would Only move up maybe a foot for a few days.Then most likely recede if you don’t have more rain for a couple of days.
@@georgemocol7360 well they shouldn’t just done that years ago. LOL
Build where you SHOULD NOT, as greedy developers don't care. Easily forget 70-100 year floods grandparents warned us about... And we'll go back and build in the wrong places AGAIN. Not prioritising storm water and storm water drains
Why are we spending billions to fund wars when Americans are battling wars regarding our declining infrastructure and serious problems with violence?
Because some wont address climate change. They call it rain like always until it crumbles the infrastructure.
If you’re speaking about Ukraine those are old munitions we’re sending them. And Israel is an ally like it or not. Plus we’re America we can walk and chew gum so if your ok with that concept don’t vote for Kristi cause look at her vote pertaining to the very subject you talk of. If your from South Dakota I hope your family and loved ones are safe but I still believe we’re a country that can hope for that around the world and help where we can. You’re spot on about infrastructure though!
Because that's where the special interest money comes from wars not fixing America. The politicians the red states vote for voted down Biden's infrastructure bill to address this damn along with many other failing infrastructure issues. And even after voting against it the still took credit for the reduced funds they receive anyway. I short your states are falling apart because that's what you vote for.
Oh so is the right going to admit we need to fix infrastructure due to out of control climate change?
Because of the residents, half want the dam, half want it gone and flooding mitigation added. Can't agree on how to fix it, for a few years now...
Compliments of HAARP and the United States Air Force
Facts...with all the stratospheric aerosol injections too. The government is trying to play God.
Burning fossil fuels-this is well aware of now ✌️
Don't forget the US Military; biggest polluter in the world
@@scottanderson3751I'm burning diesel fuel, right now. 🍻
Exactly, weather whiplash.
Umm, CBS… the graphics department made up the Missouri river in Nebraska. The Missouri serves as the boundary between Iowa and Nebraska. It does not dissect Nebraska north-south as shown in the graphic.
Good catch. The Missouri does bisect the Dakota's, but makes for the eastern border of Nebraska with Iowa as you stated. I can't imagine how a dumb mistake like that could be made by our fabulous main stream media!? 🙄😂
Cant believe a 110 year old dam is not holding back the water is it was designed to....
It is really . It just went around it ..
Dude, read back what you just said; IT'S 110 YEARS OLD GENIUS, there's 100s like that that arent getting the attention needed. Dams are supposed to last like 80-100years TOPS on good years.
Republicans refuse to pay for infrastructure maintenance.
Stop giving funding to other countries and start using that money to fix our own infrastructure!
It's doing its job just fine, it's the bank the failed.
Minnesota had a $3 BILLION surplus two years in a row. Maybe it's time they fix the infrastructure instead of spending $17 million rehabbing the governor's mansion which is only valued at $3.5 million after its done.
whew...something's sure incorrect in Minnesota rehab but I suppose a surplus beats the obscene intentional federal deficit .
Now who's going to stop the cloud seeding that is causing these intentional disasters?
Hey CBS, the graphic at 1:26, that's not where the Missouri River is located. Jesus Tap Dancing Herbert Hoover Four Flushing Saltine Eating Christ. Do better.
Yeah! I noticed that also.
No need to be gay about it.
Dang I thought the Missouri flows into Mississippi 😅
Well that escalated quickly.
The media are the circus clowns let go when Ringling Brothers folded the tent.
climate change climate change climate change it is not humans, it is nature
you are so right ..............tired of hearing climate change bs
THAT'S THE FACT! The Returned Messiah Yahoshua appointed Highest Living Authority on the planet 🌏 by the World Court has been saying this 40years+
Regardless of what is causing it... climate change is real. Deal with it.

Nature is trying to rebalance what WE HUMANS HAVE CAUSED... Seems like y'all skipped out on science growing up
This is almost as bad as having to listen to Norah O’Donnell

Heat ???? Have they forgotten it's summer ???
Praying for all All of them!!!

Crap in one hand, pray in the other, and see which one fills up first.
What does climate change have to do with a deteriorating damn?
If you didn’t watch the video, watch it and see. If you did watch, time to take up sudoku for those comprehension skills bro.
It's part of their " Global warming/Climate change caused the rain that wrecked the dam
Okay as you can see the damn did not fail polar ice melting puts more moisture in the air picked up moved around the planet comes back to Earth in the form of rain rain causes flooding water will always find the lowest point and it found it at the end of the Damn the river is simply making a new path around the damn so your answer is the amount of rain that fell was caused by climate change hope this answers your question
Real journalism would point out that every home and business impacted by flood waters are located right next to and near a major waterway. Its not like this is happening in areas many miles from major waterways. It's frustrating to see all of the repeat flood reports then see a big river in the backyard of the homes & businesses destroyed. All of this makes me think of the weather channel reporters standing in a ditch reporting waste deep flood waters and then see people walking without a problem with water barely covering their feet.
When you live on the banks of a river or at the edge of the ocean why should you be surprised at events like this?
I don’t think I will even try to answer an absurd question like this.
Every area of this country is and will be affected by climate change. And I assume that's where you live? Unless you're Russian and you got your own problems.
When people say repeatedly that they have never seen flooding like this in this area you might think that was worth paying attention to?!
😂 they said Miami was done for
@@christyann1201 Seriously? You never heard the expression, "if you don't want to get wet, don't live near the water." I guess you don't know what a floodplain is either.
Is that the chick that shot her dog?

And raging climate change denier, YUP
We are all doomed. I don't think we are going to last until tomorrow. Climate change is going to get us all.
@@ShawnC.W-King Climate change denying is smart. It started out as global warming, but when that failed, they had to rename it. Go figure.
it sure greens up the grass😊
Don't let any of that water get away.
May Love Peace Prevail In The World....
The heat is costing us thousands every minute 😢😢😢
Animals are dying from the extreme heat in Texas also 😢
Where’s all our tax dollars that should be used for infrastructure, because this country has done no work as far as infrastructure , the bank should be bursting if they put money in the budget yearly, or how ever often they do the countries budget, where’s the money? This can be a quick fix, if they didn’t spend the money, like gave it away, or pay it out every year to another country for their aid, while this country falls apart. Heck long as they’re rich and the minorities get nothing, right, this is pathetic. If I ran my business like they run this country, I’d be bankrupt, and I mean long time ago, geez.
All these insurance claims mean even high insurance premiums.
Sh*t happens, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Somewhere out there is a flooded quarry with a dog and donkey mindlessly floating along
Water is a resource. Why are we not treating as such. Too much there, too little here. Chemicals, gas, is pumped all over. Lay water lines in the pipeline rights of way, from historical flood zones to places that need the water. If nothing else, pump it to th deserts of America if not needed. Big Lake, Texas, Salt Lake, the Humbolt Sink, the RIO BRAVO, even the mighty Mississippi needs water sometimes.
Because that’s too much like right and they won’t do it.
Once they find a way to market storm water collection we will see it
Water isn't a trillion dollar industry xD.
Stop giving funding to other countries and start using that money to fix our own infrastructure!
Hey , what happened to the billions in biden's infrastructure bill, oh that's right, they gave it all to the Ukraine
I pray that people, pets, and all other creatures find safety.
Amen. People forget about all the pets, stray and wild animals who die. :(

Losing the house is sad, but losing the land is so much worse. Houses can be rebuilt. Land is gone forever.
Is there a reason that dam doesn’t have a spillway?!
It does now unfortunately for that family 😞

All while an entire population say “this is normal”.
And Noem voted

Infrastucture....❤
Liar
Doesn’t look like the infrastructure bill money is being spent for infrastructure at all. What happened to Obama’s “shovel ready jobs” anyway??
@@ConnieA1262 True, took 30 seconds to find out on official government sources, do a little reading before calling a stranger a liar?
Connie you seem like a nice person I think your jumping the gun a bit Mrs Noam did vote against infrastructure but then definitely took credit for the money that the federal government supported our United States with including the beautiful and wonderful state of South Dakota! I’m sure you’re a really busy person so sometimes the details can get tricky but I assure you it’s a least with a looking into? Peace and Love from PDX
shes been actively hampering any attempts to address climate change, then goes on tv after the clear consequences of it, talking about the impact to her constituents lives, and how the ripples are immensurable.
Thankfully some infrastructure projects are underway, long overdue
All peoples's destiny depend on whether it rains or not.
Wait, “more than 8,000 dams in disrepair” but yet we keep sending billions of tax dollars to other countries 😏👎 God help us!
Makes no sense whatsoever.
We have flooding like this before, this is not new. I truly feel sorry for the folks suffering from these floods.
The greatest generation sure stopped being great with any upkeep on infrastructure!
with all this flooding, the government should send about $60/$70 billion to Ukraine. They need the money.
Do you realise what a 'tiny' amount $70 billion dollars is - when compared to what is spent on the US military every year, even in peace times?
Or how about that 'trillion dollars' that Trump printed during the peak of the economic crisis during his term? I'm talking of that famous trillion dollars, which vanished in an hour as the stock markets continued to plummet regardless.
A trillion equals a 'thousand billion' dollars. All gone in an hour, having done nothing, no good at all, not for the US economy, not for a war torn country in distress. Just another disastrous decision flushed down the economic toilet, and slapping another trillion on the US Debt Clock.
So, America can well afford $70 billion - because I'm quite sure the current administration has already made a good deal with Zelensky for some deals on those famous mineral rich deposits in the Ukraine (which you wouldn't be getting if the country was to fall into Russian hands. That will all go to China, I have no doubt).
Therefore, you must see the bigger picture by now.
$70 billion is dream money to the likes of you and me, who couldn't even envisage what that much money could do. But to a government that throws many billions per year into social security, many more into the military, the war against drugs, education for all children, the building of infrastructure, justice and policing, fire and rescue services, goodness knows how much religious-motivated rubbish (and in turn, doesn't tax the church, allowing some of its various leaders to live on disgusting levels of wealth that rival even the Pope), and an increasing amount into the environment - $70 billion is next to nothing these days, especially considering the massive leaps in inflation on almost everything in recent years.
What we really need is more tax cuts for billionaires cuz then the money will trickle down to you little people
Boy all that money that has been sent to Ukraine could have been used here instead.
You really have no idea how the government in this country budgets money do you?? Money going to Ukraine and Israel was allocated by Congress! It comes from an entirely different funding source than funds that go for disaster relief in this country!
Of course I get that you are just making a cheap shot because the US is still funding those wars!! 🙄
90% of our DC politicians receive campaign funds from their Sugar Daddies, the defense contractors. There is you answer!
I don't see what flooding has to do with sending money to Ukraine but maybe that's just what you like to complain about but you also probably complain about the construction site you have to go through because the United States is spending money on infrastructure
@@2024.choice Apparently some people like to complain about something in this case the aid going to fight the war in Ukraine even though it is completely irrelevant to a flood in Minnesota!? 🙄
YOU MIGHT WANT TO BACK OFF ON THE CLOUD SEEDING JUST A LITTLE,,YOU GUYS KNOW WE CAN SEE THE PLANES IN THE AIR RIGHT ?
I bet space aliens are involved. //nod
@@Tessmage_Tessera Google weather modifications LLC and SOAR Their flight plans are open source to the public
If this was true we would not have droughts
Isn't it interesting that the conspiracy theory crowd always points to cloud seeding when there is a flood, but have zero explanation for persistent drought in many areas around the world?!?!
@@jonnythreat HAARP givith and HAARP taketh away. The military has a Dept. of Weather Warfare. If you believe they don't use their toys to push their agenda , you are already a lost soul. We see the jets that are nowhere to be seen , suddenly show up in big numbers, but the only place they fly is back and forth in front of the sun. The Dem leaders just proposed that we start "blocking out the sun" . They have been doing it for years . Every now and then they allow a blue sky all day, so does that mean all the airports have shut down? Sure think that would be on the news . I remember how the skies used to be . Contrails dissipate within minutes, Chemtrails hang in the sky all day. Plus you might try to explain the numerous times I have seen jets with huge white trails that suddenly stop and the jet continues to fly across the sky with no trail at all. Must be gliding to conserve fuel , right?? Except jets don't glide , they drop out of the sky. It's not a conspiracy, it's called Critical Thinking!!!
why do they keep saying that the DAM RUPTURE is IMMINENT?? ... I think we are past damm past dam failure (i know water went around but still...)
Because the dam didn't break, the water is going around the dam and tearing up rock. No spillway.
All that cloud seeding did it's purpose
Government says nothing to see here.Just too much rain
Thank goodness so far there have been no rolling blackouts/regional blackouts or brown-outs.
Kristi Noem said she had to shoot some puppies that got wet.
It sucks. Floods happen.
Why is i don't see any difference in heatwaves or storms since 1977. Where is climate change. ❗️❗️❗️ went through floods as many has since 1977 nothing new ❗️💯❗️
Dam is too old was humans fault not to upgraded,who you got to blame?😂😂😂😂😂
“This is our lead story every night for the last ten days”
Because you have to keep the climate change fear going .
It’s the lead story because 100 or 1000 year events are happening every freaking day. And it’s gonna cost us billions and billions and billions and trillions we must get our head out of the sand.
Yeah they leave out the fact that a lot of the midwest is basically low lying swamp land.
Isn't Faux News more your style?
FYI Climate change is very real and there has been a trend toward more extreme weather over the last 15 years. Temperatures have averaged over 1.5 C above the average of 100 years ago every month for the past 14 months. That has never happened before. Consequently, there have been an increasing number of heat waves that are breaking records all over the world.
And because the climate is warming it holds more moisture and consequently extreme flooding results.
With the increasing temperatures also brings increasing drought. With increasing drought comes worsening wildfires. We just had 2 fires here in New Mexico a week a go that almost destroyed the town of Ruidoso. The cause is suspected arson, but the cause doesn't explain the explosive nature of the fire which happened because of drought conditions, higher temperatures and strong winds.
Climate change doesn't depend on you believing in it. But when countless agencies, scientists and countries are all saying we need to get more concerned about climate change than maybe it's time to start listening!!
You don't need to belief in climate change but it will affect you sooner or later.
Draining the heartland of most of its water more and more each year is going to have predictable consequences. Could have been prevented. Poor leadership.
if you are near the flood zone leave the area and make damn sure you get all animals out of the area
For the most part it's man-made.. you can't keep building on rivers and building dams and building levies because the water has nowhere to go but up😢
Keep sending money to isreal and ukrain
Tell that to 90% of our DC politicians that receive campaign funds from their Sugar Daddies, the defense contractors. How dare they say No more funding!
God doesn't like puppy killers...sends flood.
Where did the money go Governor Newsom ? apparently it didn't go to keeping up roads Bridges
Did you ever notice your in the flood plain from eonens and light years ago?
Not global warming though? At least food for thought.
Nasa"s weather satelites have already proven there has been no increase in temp for the last 20 years . There are and always has been records broken here and there. The polar Ice is melting and the whole coast will be underwater. But the news hasn't shown us the coasts under water. The so called expert climate alarmists warned us many times how the world would end in 5 yrs, never happened , they said ten years, never happened , same tired fear mongering but nothing has killed us off. The think when they make these dire predictions , no one will remember and call BS, Hey , guess what, we are still here. Kind of reminds me how Y2K , when we hit the year 2000 and the world would end. Hey , wait , it's 2024

Building codes need to change
So it climate change or is it bad infrastructure?
It’s lost billions that was supposed to be used on infrastructure to take care of such things over a decade ago. But CBS won’t investigate any of that.
They didn't remove debris from the Rapidan Dam in a timely manner. However, maybe they have a good excuse.
He looks like you're not going to be able to live near rivers or forests anymore. Even a mountain range with too much rain you'll have mudslides where is there to go?
what are you going to do for the good people of So. Dakota, Noem?
It's only just the start folks! "Faster Than Expected"
These problems exist and we the people have to clean house from those positions who are responsible.
This is so bad 😢
Don't say noby warned you! Amid the all supressed and denied knowledge, we never thought...
No, it has been years of it.
The temps shown on the US map are above average but not at all unusual for this time of year. “The sky is falling!!!”
A warmer atmosphere can hold more water. So when the big rains hit, they are way bigger in our warming climate. And it will onky get worse until we reach net zero in CO2.
About 50 years ago the Big Thompson Canyon river in Colorado had a massive flash flood and 158 ppl died. Wonder how that happened before "Climate Change"??? Hmmm...
Climate change does not create these events, it makes them happen more often, and more intense. GG on the big brain!
Drought = climate change. Flood = climate change
Yeah but now it happens every year not just once every 50yrs. By the way scientists have been warning of an increase in extreme weather events due to man made climate change since the 1950s.
@@anthonybeaudry1547 oh baloney. Climate Change has ALWAYS occurred and it always WILL. You can't alter it. We are in the last days because of human sin and depravity, and the Lord's return is very near. Forget climate -- get your soul right with God through His Son Jesus!
👍👍 to Anthony''s comment and try learning the difference between weather and climate.
Wow, that sweet family needs to evacuate asap. You can’t think it’s anything other than the broken road to doomsday.
Any time that you have extreme tectonic activity, you will have extreme weather. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have been prevalent this entire year so, it stands to reason that we will associated extreme weather. August and September will bring extreme hurricane activity on the eastern seaboard and the Gulf Coast. We’ve only begun the extreme weather scenarios this year.
Free the beavers. ❤
She said: Clima change!
Not maybe but definitely.
American construction crews cant get anything repaired or built in a timely manner.
because biden gives all the money to the Ukraine, so where should those crews get the funds to fix things???
WHEN BIDEN WAS ASKED TO COMMENT: "TONY BLINKEN TOLD ME ABOUT THIS, BUT WE COULDNT CARE LESS ABOUT AMERICAN PROPERTY, OUR ONLY CONCERN IS UKRANIAN PROPERTY. WE PROMISED IT ALL TO BLACKROCK, HUNTER TOOK PAYMENT SO WE HAVE TO MAKE GOOD."
And they told me i'm selfish for not having children.
No just gullible.
@@reignman30 How am I gullable for not having children?
I trust Biden to deliver policies and coordination and leadership to rebuild our infrastructure after the flooding.

Florida is fine so all is well. Best governor.
Guess what? Rivers rise!
Why send money to Ukraine and other countries instead of fixing our dams and infrastructures?
Remember Geo engineering weather manipulation was perfected by HARRP decades ago.Floods Fires(DEW) Tornadoes Earthquakes etc watch the Documentary The Dimming
