As rivers crest in the coming days, some parts of the state are still bracing for flooding, while others are already cleaning up.

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.

Biden has to handle this. He has been. FEMA needs to get there.

yeah, i'm sure the laptop clogged the damn dam

[@larryprice8081]

All lion Chetan politicians were this will make everything just fine

[@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.

It’s just so sad.

[@NOLACKINGSLIME]

Not really 🤣

[@lincolng1456]

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!

"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.

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.

Why is that house built next to the river dam?

[@MrLightYear95]

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.

[@94SexyStang]

Hydro power house....could have had a water mill attached over 100 years ago....very common here on East Coast. Many times there's renovations done, and all that's left is the house. Also, people built near rivers back before the modern powergrid....water is life.
