Waterville residents underwater as Cannon River floods

Parts of Minnesota are experiencing major flooding because of the excessive rain pouring into the state. It's causing problems all over. In particular, Waterville is one place really living up to its name. The Cannon River runs through two big lakes surrounding the town about an hour south of the cities. WCCO’s Kirsten Mitchell shows us how neighbors are helping each other as the water keeps rising.

They need to clear the debris from the cannon river so the city can start to drain

So mother nature must be grieving!

That is crazy

I wonder the history of this town.

[@landdo93]

the flooding has gotten worse and worse over the years, never ever like this though, apparently there is a bog downstream holding up water flow but apparently it’s not a big enough deal, maybe/hopefully now it will be
