Rapidan Dam waters rage on as flooding reaches historic levels in parts of Minnesota, Iowa

[@Sushi2735]

Deepest sympathy to all those affected. Grew up in Austin on Turtle Creek which flooded every 10 yrs! Just a nightmare to go through!!! I’m so sorry!

[@SunnyAquamarine2]

I almost can't believe the difference of how Minnesota is responding to the deluge versus Iowa and South Dakota.

[@weeweefeet4030]

I love that the flooded town is called Waterville -

[@moos5221]

Yesterday they said the water will rise 2 feet if the dam fails. The water has risen 4 feet since and today they still say it'll rise 2 feet if the dam fails. I'd prepare for more than 2 feet if I was downstream...although it's unlikely the dam will collapse now that the water made a wide enough path.

My sts crew leader used to bring us to the dam store quite often, camping there as a kid, fishing, countless memories

[@Lynn-r8h]

It’s just so sad.

Why is that house built next to the river dam?

[@BrunzLightYear]

Who would have ever thought the dam would ever fail.. house has been there for many many years….

[@ryanwall1780]

House has likely been there for nearly 100 years.

Why were you born without a brain?

[@cheddar2648]

Well it wasn't next to the river before the river leapt its banks.

[@savannah115]

It was built to house the workers who built the dam, and then a family just moved in.

This is your sign to go and buy that fishing kayak/john boat.

I thought the Mississippi river was running out of water as well as all the other long rivers in the country. But, lo and behold look….they are now flooded? So, I guess the scientists were wrong again!

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

Nice!

[@Robert-dn4yp]

All this flooding is man made. 😢

[@moos5221]

How dare you...obviously God controls everything that happens on earth and in the whole universe.

[@Glopdemon]

@@moos5221are you saying that God built the dam? Because if you are, you’re implying that he sucks as an engineer. Enjoy Hell, blasphemer.

[@imjustgonnasayit7902]

@@moos5221 If the river was able to flow like GOD intended this wouldn't be an issue.

[@moos5221]

@@imjustgonnasayit7902 lol, you are so naive. you really think humans can act against Gods will? God is almighty, remember? If God wanted that river to take out the house and potentially the damn store, then he will have good reasons for it that nobody should question. Nothing happens without reason and his ways are known to him alone.

@@moos5221 You should probably reread what I wrote. I was agreeing with you bud.

"Land of Lakes"..hmm, maybe we should construct some dams and build more lakes🤔🤦‍♀️🤣 I laugh at the irony, not the misfortune. My paternal family farm is up there as well.
