It’s really cool to see how well you guys are doing with KZbin.. Honestly during the years of the TV show, I was a massive hater.. but when you guys got out of that and picked up your KZbin channel, there was a notable shift in the quality of the content and in the overall vibe you guys had (for the better, in my opinion). Slowly became a fan, and now I am addicted to the videos. You’re doing great work, especially the way you’ve gone out of your way to find large scale projects that are great content and extremely charitable at the same time. People helping people is a beautiful thing!

If it's anything like the Arkansas river up in Tulsa Oklahoma area that much damage to it will permanently weaken it. Making it 100x easier for the next person to get stuck worse. The Arkansas river has claimed lives from this. One moment you're driving along on a sand bar next moment you are buried/eaten alive almost instantly. And damn near nothing will pull you out.

Fun fact. In similar conditions where stuff like tunneling is needed it is common for the construction to require pipes be bored through the mud then running super chilled fluid through them and freezing all the mud solid over a few weeks before digging the thunnels. Mud like this is EXTREMELY difficult to deal with without large scale opperations like freezing or driving dams around the mud then pumping or removing it.

The scammers using your image have been around for about 6 years that I know of. I didn’t even know this channel existed till about 2 months ago. Keep up the great work
