If only the rain would’ve been predicted days in advance. Oh wait.. it was

🤪😄 exactly lol

No one watches the weather anymore

obviously you dont race cars....you dont undertsand the love or passion these people have for racing

[@tatumd1234]

I like his upbeat smile and spirit! Everything always gets better!!

[@robertgarity]

That area has flooded so many times, this is no surprise. Why would you build a campground in a known flood area? What is Huset’s emergency management plan for the campground?

[@beck1365]

Their emergency response plan is to have the police and fire departments respond- at taxpayer expense of course

[@astonike8383]

Because it's next to the water??? Have you ever been camping in a state park? A lot of the times the camping areas in a flood plane because people like to camp near water.

[@robertgarity]

@@astonike8383 Do you think the people going to the races are there because they want to enjoy swimming in Split Rock Creek? They are there for the races, and Huset’s had the land so they put campers out there. It’s dangerous and full of risk, and they have liability to those campers.

[@astonike8383]

@@robertgarity yeah and it's probably cooler and nicer down by the creek not everything remotely "dangerous" needs to be regulated and bubble wrapped

[@robertgarity]

Insurance companies and lawyers are likely to see things differently.

[@Wogger72]

Sounds like it was handled well! Professionals putting on a good show protecting the people 👍

[@gloriagibb-zs4se]

Show. Protecting the people. People protect themselves. Depending on help will give more authority. People, Help one another.

[@user-jf4nj3ez2k]

Probably don't really have one. But the fact that the race track is in a flood plain is probably a good reason why the racetrack is still.even up and running.

[@M.Campbell]

Judging by the space, it looks like a lot of people did leave. Quite often people will park their RV at events well ahead of time, so they get a spot, and leave it there. Then come back for the event. That plan bit them in the butt this time.

[@vinceedwards575]

A large of group of folks with no common sense.

[@rodgerpetrick6502]

Do people not realize when heavy rains come to get to safety.

[@disscustinglybeautiful1652]

Stupid that people just don't move days earlier.

[@seanthoman2676]

Sad to see that happen. Better add life boat and survival gear to take along to Husset 's next time.

[@jcmjcm1945]

Gross neglect on the RV owners part. They could have moved their campers . If they wanted. There was no excuse for this much insurance claims. If I had heard that the rivers were rising I'd have moved mine regardless.

[@magesalmanac6424]

Too many people think disasters only happen to others

[@StanMNdirt]

I was watching the Wednesday night race on TV thinking about how high the water in the creek looked. Actually literally thought about the possibility of flooding overnight while watching. I’m 250 miles northeast and getting the same storm systems as Husets a half day later. Something similar happened last week. A country music festival turned into a mud bog and local farmers came to the rescue. We typically only get this kind of flooding in the spring with snow melt. I think they got caught by surprise by late June flooding. It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario with big outdoor events. People like camping by lakes and rivers so I can’t fault anyone for that. Bad situation for any outdoor event when we get a summer like this. Management are good people and I trust they will sort things out.

Amazing help ❤

😢😢😢very sad indeed 😢😢😢 how much good water gone wasted 😢😢😢instead of saving it for the dry season and for those areas suffering extreme draught😢😢😢very sad watching poor people dealing with weather gone insane disasters. We have to stay united and prevent such disasters from now on , we have the scientific knowledge, skills tools and technologies to fight back this extreme climate change, neutralize pollution and bring down the heat😢😢😢

What state is this in?

[@erickort1987]

dont these ppl with the rv campers watch weather forcast!!!!

[@mfgc2610]

That is millions of $$$ worth of RVs...

[@lextacy2008]

There is still racing tonight RIGHT?!

[@corneliusdinkmeyer2190]

I believe they changed it to a boating event. 👍🏼

[@betsyj59]

"At least the campers are safe...." Losing an RV like that is losing a huge amount of money. Bad idea to allow people to camp next to that speedway as it is in an area that floods easily. Record-level for Split Rock Creek is 98.47 feet (which was reached in 2014). Anything over 89 feet is action-level flooding. In 2018 the second highest level was reached on this creek when it went to 96.66 feet after 3 inches of rain. Hopefully in the future, people will decide to camp somewhere else when they go to attend that Husks Speedway event.

@@GFSwinger1693 You call burning fuel and tires for profit a comfortable living?

[@GFSwinger1693]

@@GoPoundSalt News flash, everything you purchase includes a profit for everyone in the supply chain and unless you live in an Amish village you are burning fuel and tires. Take it from someone that has been around for a very long time. Life will be much less frustrating for you if you focus on what you are good at and put that to productive use and stop being angry and envious of what other's enjoy. Taking joy in others misfortune is no way to live, will distract you from achieving anything, and will only ensure you live unfulfilled. Peace out.

[@GoPoundSalt]

@@GFSwinger1693 You would know an Amish compound, you would know that they do burn fuel and tires. "Take it from someone that has been around" too long for my liking. Old man has yet to grasp the ABC or bio-land, biodiversity. WE do hate you for the heritage you are living behind.
