What's that neon green gunk?

[@allexx123]

algae

[@mattdeinken6580]

@allexx123 thank you,I was hoping it's wasn't massive amounts of some kinda chemical

[@EattheApple666]

Maybe this is why they called it Waterville?

[@mattsmelley5569]

Jack up the sales price....everyone has waterfront property now😂

[@soulful1illusion]

What an unfortunate name

[@guyfawkesuThe1]

You live next to a river. Your fault.

[@victoravila866]

Who left the sprinklers running all night?

[@SunnyAquamarine2]

I bet they wish they'd chosen a different name. Sorry to all. I'm in Iowa in the middle of worst flooding ever, myself.

[@allexx123]

The drinking water tower well is very deep underground, but the water around it could go way down and contaminate the water as it goes deeper into the soil.

[@americanhotdog]

They always wanted lake front property

Please suggest Emergency Management use Lg dumpster bags fill w sand rapidly deploy water diversion/plug can place w crane / helicopter fill w backhoes

[@jasonteddy5302]

Air bubbler on and off valves need to be put to lawns sprinkler systems portions to minimize the hypoxia and other bad bacteria blooms potentials as the waters rise or recceed gonna be a diaster night mare for a while and those houses look saturated.. .. and a massive salvage effort ongoing and insurance companies negotiations and banks .. I have said for many years now, what the women must do, but I see my warnings have not been heeded as well as I have tried to get out there nor by as many people females and also males that should already have been over seas with their sons. ..

I’m no rocket scientist but I’d say a good majority gotta be coming from from Blie Earth County

[@hoosierdaddy8002]

Waterlogged.

[@jasonteddy5302]

Other than that, looks like a pretty little area.

[@americanhotdog]

The hick town is called Waterville😂😂😂

[@mjgibbons8905]

Shame on you!

[@jasonteddy5302]

Can they possibly make things standard operations proceedur that arent stupid and all fcked up?

Same video as before.

[@Sleek43]

So sad! Are people still in these homes or have they gotten everyone out?

[@ZenDreaming60]

We’re Minnesotans…we know when to get out without having to be told! 👍🏼💞

Looters?

[@ForApps-tp1dt]

Yep, those ⚫️⚫️ are already at it.

[@sacongo1624]

It wasn't given that name by accident and who decided to build their?

[@AvaMoon-f9g]

people are told where they can build, why let them build there...? easy to destroy and flood it when needed.

[@rkgsd]

⚠️ Evidently a town that calls itself Waterville was intended to be a warning.

[@wardrobelion]

Wow! Now that's a lot of water 💦!😮

[@yajcaivplawv88]

Wow! Living close to waters has its consequences.

[@jwalsh2199ify]

It's literally Waterville now

[@johngavin4201]

Even the trees look unhappy.

[@johnyoder9302]

If you build your house in flood zones, this is what happens, I hope none of my hard-earned tax dollars go to this, because I deliberately purchased a house not in a flood zone. Quit building houses in flood zones.

[@jasonteddy5302]

Why are the gasstation pumps a d tanks not sand bagged around? That will leak tons of fuel into the water... get that fck. Sand bagged aroun its perimeter and water trucks and fuel trucks that handle contaminated water to pump it out untill it's dry and a moat cauuffer ring of sandbags to lay lines between to suck out and flood water to keep from getting more contaminated.

[@nanzyz]

Nothing to see here...totally normal...move along...

The Cajun Navy should be there

🎉look out everyone. Be safe
