im from mn it has been raining just about daily for two weeks now with a true rain storm every few days its been a lot of water
Mabey we should send some more money to ukraine. That will fix it
Why is ukraine doing nothing about this???
@@Noconstitutionfordemocrats1 FR the water is clearly Russian
No, send some more money to Israel. That will help.
Southern Minnesota here the whole State is being tore up rain more rain. Tornadoes. High wind etc. So many counties are either flooding or on the verge atm.
@@TroyHanson-ch6nm our prayers are with you all
Government trying their best to destroy our farm land and make us eat bugs, and that’s not a joke or some conspiracy theory it’s very real! Bill gates and other idiots are ramping up their bug farms right now. Plus he’s been buying up farm land for years so he can get rid of it. Time to wake up people!!! This isn’t just some random thing happening. They’ve been modifying weather for decades now to make to rain or not rain in certain areas. They even did it back in WWII, now they’re using it against us to try and push their agendas. Trying to make people believe global warming is real and that it’s caused by farming and cows, just so they can make us all dependent on them not ourselves. With dependency comes control.
I have many fond memories of visiting the Lil' Dam Store and hydroelectric dam going back to the middle seventies. My mom and dad were taking a trip locally; on their first and only honeymoon; and left me, as well as my three siblings, at my grandfather's farm in rural Rapidan. My grandfather, Allen Ross, would do what a proud grandfather usually does; and spoil his grandkids rotten with sweets and the occasional ice cream drumstick, from the store. On the evening my parents were returning from their honeymoon; yours truly got really sick on too much of grandpa's generosity! So, my lovely parents had a sick kid to deal with after their joyous honeymoon. Ah, good times!
I'm praying for Jenny and her family today; for their personal safety and the safety of their Lil' Dam Store and their childhood home. I was born in 1972; the same year the Barnes family became the owners of this iconic southern Minnesota landmark. God bless.
That's a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. OMG, it's bittersweet to connect with others from across this country at times like this, but I feel a sort of sad nostalgia for similar events that have happened in my kneck of the woods in California.I really hope and pray all ends with the best outcome there is, for everyone. ❤❤❤❤ God Bless you.
Meanwhile....500 thousand acres of farmer land in Idaho are having their water shut off.
You might not be smart enough to understand this, but excess of water in minnesota doesn't mean excess of water in Idaho.
You idiots voted for these extreme weather events despite warnings from decades ago lol.
Now that's a damn shame 🫠 😒 😕
Communism sucks, huh?
@@killerhurtalot voted for what honestly what has either side done? You realize there is entire countries that our votes do not effect like india and china who pollute more overall than us.
Yeah climate change -its going to get a lot worse so get used to it.
This is so sad. Rapidan Dam is a well-loved place around here. It's an expected summer trip - so many people in our area head over to the Rapidan Dam every summer, several times a summer, to enjoy a good meal, a delicious piece of pie, walk the bridge to look at the dam and the beautiful sights. And of course you have to stop and play the piano in the shelter house at the playground!
I still say there must be a way to build a pipeline to catch all the excess water and pipe it to the southwest that doesn't see much water. If a pipeline can be built for oil. Why not water?
Incredible idea, there has never been water in a pipe, let alone a pipeline!!!
Why not just put spillways in the damn?
you go get started on it we are right behind you just gotta grab my level
Love this
Geoengineering, weather manipulation with technology. Look it up.
From the Chinese in Canada.
that dam's already in collapsing phase.
Bootyjudge is to blame.
I'm 😞 sorry, here in TN at Lake Ray Robert's dam¹ it's weak, they allowed 1000s homes built below this dam. 😮😢. Scares me and I don't live in TX any more. If that dam blows the lose of life all the way past Dallas will be staggering.
Stay safe MI.❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Odd there's nothing in the news about it.
Normal weather for this time of year. stealing money collected to maintain this dam is the reason it is failing.
The damn is not failing. Lol. You're an AI bot. The dam's working exactly as intended. The problem is it has no spillways designed into it.
Rainstorms nearly every day for the past month is normal? I don't think so. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Basically all of southern Minnesota is under a flood warning
@@Noconstitutionfordemocrats1 Imagine the low IQ required to believe AI exists. Also, if a dam isn't holding water back, it is in fact failing.
@@Ryan5oh7 throughout summer, yes, very normal. stop lying shill
@@Noconstitutionfordemocrats1 So in short the dam is failing...
Daaaaaaamn! That's a damn well built dam!
Prayers
wow.
your word solved it.
amazing.
@@Valspartame_Maelstrom yep
I'm so sorry, I pray 🙏 extra for you guys, from our family in Cali to yours, please God save the dam store and house or most of what you can, we in jesus 🙏 name, Amen.
I sure hope everything turns out for the best. ❤️
Water should of been released before all this happened, blame the owners of the dam
I think the problem was a lot of debris clogged it.
The last time I saw my grandmother we went to the dam store for pie.
DAM!
😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂
Not sure it would matter, the dam is already bypassed.
Hopefully they have good home insurance on that property and house!
"Building Back Better"... With Fibre Optic Propaganda Cables.
So heartbreaking
They should have raked all that debris up before the storm.
Heavy rainfall made the river swell. Then the swollen river with its raging water caused the river to widen and take out trees, buildings etc. It is called debris now because it's now in the river but it wasn't debris until the river began to widen which destroyed things.
@@Julie-zv1xo Just call it a lake.
@@Julie-zv1xoYou can't fool Mother Nature. This looks like an unattended dam. Got what you asked for. The building had problems long before this.
THIS IS THE # 2 INCIDENT IN MINN. REMEMBER THE BRIDGE COLLAPSE NOT LONG AGO ??
Noah really hated that climate change too.
Well, looks like the spillway already collapsed.
OP: DNR should reorganize to build staff in greater numbers that would focus on debris removal in forested areas and in waterways as an emergency management plan against fire and clogged waterways. Other naturalization projects can be put on hold in favor of what must be done.
Dam. That sucks
Dam shame
What a tragedy.
Love & Prayers are sent from Southwest Germany 💯🙏🍀🛡❤
Dang, climate change turned out to not be a hoax.
Was climate change responsible for the Johnstown flood, in 1889? Maybe, the one in 1977?
That’s a dam good dam ,water had to go around
Where can I get some dam bait???
Oh, I love electricity. Eddie says we're gonna get some soon.
Hope.
They should remove all the debris built up along the damp to reduce the force of water exerted on the damp by using an excavator with the grabbing attachment and a dump truck to carry that debris away to increase water flow over the damp.
Godbless
Hope they get it all on camera.
That's crazy
Will Lafayette Minnesota be effective?
Dam dam dam!!!
big old crappy infrastructure !
Hopefully they have good dam insurance
The Corp of Engineers really needs to go there and ease the strain on that dam by removing some of the debris building up at the top.
Has anyone seen the behind-the-scenes?
Scary
This is why you never build near water lol
A damn shame
The dam will not collapse because @0:04 on the righthand side is a big out crop of natural rocks in the river bed you can see it if you look!, the dam is up agaisnt it on the right, the water is going around the right of the dam due to the river bank collasping not the dam.
On the right is also some natural rocks above and underneath the water surface which is creating waterfalls around that side and further down the river nearer the house and bank on the right.
Once the water level lowers then they might be-able to rebuild the river wall/bank on the right by diverting the river and putting in thick reinforced concreate walls on that side of the dam and refilling the hole land behind it.
I guess it depends how far they are willing to go and how much money someone is willing to put in to try and save it or maybe they might remove the dam completely, who know?, but the dam will still be there once the water level drop. The dams foundations will be dug right down into the river bedrock and most of the water flow/pressure is going around the right side of the dam removing alot of force from the dam itself.
I feel really sorry for the family that have lost their childhood home. I live in the UK but maybe someone in the minnesota area could start up some kind of fundraiser on the internet to help them rebuild a home. Take care all.
That’s to bad
Activists: Oh no!
Climate change is causing droughts!
The same activists: Oh no!
Climate change is causing flooding!
ARE YOU GONNA DO SMTHIN ABOUT IT? CAN'T YOU LIFT IT UP?
The dam family
Got to love global warming and climate change.
Look into the Johnstown flood of 1889. History, keeps repeating.
Call in Buttigegg
It's a Dam Shame!!
Aww, I seen the house collapse 😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤ 🙏 🤲 🕍 🕌 ⛪️ 🛕 🙏 🤲 🕍 🕌 from us in California
to you and everyone else affected, we share your grief 😔
Dam in Minnesota could collapse at any moment due to severe weather. 25.6.24. over here, in UK, it's warm. Anyone for travel scrabble? Death!!! Fancy a game of travel scrabble...?
Signs and wonders.
Blue Earth.
Mother Nature man… she does not care about fe fe’s
Insurance companies will fuck over claiments...again!
Fix it walz.
Yup it'll be gone soon
god dam
is it time to tax the rich again?
High time!
Again? Lol
Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 💯 😊
Nope. Tax cuts for all. Get rid of income tax, property tax, sales tax, and SSI tax. You should not have to rent something you own from the government. Watch the economy boom.
@@Noconstitutionfordemocrats1: 🤔 So no police, firemen, coast guard, army, navy, marine, FBI, CIA, Congress, presidents, etc.? No roads, infrastructure, sewer, garbage, public schools or parks, only private?
😢😢
Whats new?
Got dam!
Biden: Mini Soda😵😵
So Biden did this? Ohhhh OK red hat
Build Back Better? What happened to all that infrastructure money?
Biden gave it to Nancy Pelosi she gave it to her husband's boyfriend's 😂

Unfortunately its life lol....
Got better news then this.........
This dam story makes sad.
Exhasted?
Endless abuse of the planet has disastrous consequences 😢
It will happen Tuesday @ 11:07am
Sorry climate deniers, but you are seriously wrong.
It’s almost as if we were forewarned about these climate changes coming…May this family find peace. And may this world learn to take care of one another finally.
Its amazing they 70% of the comments on videos I have looked at are STILL denying its climate change - it will be 130F in north Decota with hailstones the size of basketballs falling and a hurricane on its way and they will still be saying "its SUMMER what do you expect!"
all the delusional prayer posts... wow
Rest in peace to all who will perish.
Nobody will perish. Most of the homes are uphill from the dam and the town has been evacuated
Then what is this? ua-cam.com/video/yjfrJzdx7DA/v-deo.htmlsi=Axw4Wbn1iawgTZMF @@Ryan5oh7 this was predicted.
😔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙋🏽♀️💪
F'in BOOOM!!!
Dam colapse
