My thoughts & Prayers from former Midwesterner. Tragic to see your homes,Towns being devastated.

[@lightdancer2251]

So awful for these people..hope they all recover their lives again..

[@ravenm6443]

Waterville certainly lived up to its name 😨 Hope everyone stays safe and can recover. What an insane situation!

[@AllThingsConsidered333]

When I see things like this, all I think is how much mold will be growing in those homes & businesses… like when we had flooding here nearly every other year for a decade.. people drain the water and move back in… Indoor molds kill. And you don’t even know what’s happening, what’s causing it, or how serious it really is. It really was only since hurricanes Katrina & Sandy that the general population started to understand the health impacts of indoor molds. It makes me cringe. My daughter & I had our health severely damaged from indoor molds at 2 different homes that had water damage that we didn’t know about until it was too late. There was very little info available and no help. We are still trying to recover more than a decade later.

[@derekmason7507]

I live in that area maybe 20 minutes away and thats all i can think about seeing all this flooding is how much mold people are going to have and not tale it seriously… its a living Hell somtimes Being sick from mold exposure and micotoxins

[@mollypaintscows]

Mold was my first thought. Indoor mold is so dangerous, a silent killer.

[@user-tr4uo2fb4h]

well, it's name IS WATERVILLE - it's kind of to be expected ,no?

That didn't go past the weather handlers

They changed the name to Waterville in response to global warming. It's all caused by global warming.

"Waterville" Irony at it's worst. I believe this town was flooded out maybe 10 years ago?

[@lissalea8014]

It floods every year, it’s just a matter of when and how much

[@tessmoore3762]

About every 10 years this part of Minnesota has major flooding. They have flooding most years, but major flooding about every 10 years.

Waterville is connected to the Cannon River system that feeds east. The Cannon Lake is at a all time high, flooding houses in some areas. It flows into Wells lake that goes into the city of Faribault, it has over flown near the dam and the Cannon River is flooding areas and roads thru the city.

[@TheCommentSmerf]

Called Waterville probably because a noisy if water was drained to build the community and nature is taking it back.

“I will turn her into a place for owls and into swampland; I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD Almighty. Isaiah 14:23

[@simonaciobanu6149]

In His great love, God tries to awaken mankind from their selfish occupations and worship Him, Who created and sustain all the planets, not only ours, see Revelation, chapter 14, verses 6 to 12: "Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth-to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’ which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.” A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus." The mark of the beast is honouring the Sunday, instead of the seventh day of the week, the Sabbath, which God sanctified and blessed since the creation of the earth, see Genesis 2: 1- 3: "Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."
