Dams also broke at Stump Pond in Blydenburgh Park in Smithtown and Mill Pond at Avalon Park Preserve in Stony Brook.

The Romans built roads that are still in use. They built Aqueducts that were used until the 80's. We can't build something that lasts 100+ years

Show us the dams before and after. Mill pond dam. Blydenberg dam. "The dam just failed" ??? Things don't 'just fail'. Lack of maintenance? Improper engineering?Spillways are suppose to release excess water without damage to the dam or grounds below. New Orleans levees failures after Katrina come to mind. Why where these dams built? What was there before the dams? When were they built? What was the life span of the dams? Who built them? Who is responsible for inspecting and maintaining them? Can the homeowners collect from them for damages? Mill pond and Blydenberg lake before their dams failed where beautiful wildlife ecosystems. However they where not natural. They were artifically flooded areas. Why? These are questions that should be asked and answered.

The dam was built in the 1970s at blydenburgh and very little maintenance was done. Suffolk county and NY do not care about things like this

Never drop an annointed child of GOD in a lake due to bigotry & greed, for demonic sacrifice. God's mercy has held back the ORIGINAL destroyer this WHOLE time. Touch not my annointed, because the devil don't love NOBODY; give him an inch and he'll take the whole damn thang.
