      ​​​​​@Kenislovas It is. It might not be the biggest per square foot, but none of your past collapses have brought this caliber of water behind them. The key was that every single stick came down. There was nothing left whatsoever, which means the beavers had the sticks very well woven together. I can definitely see why you had to run for higher ground! 🌊 15:25 This here is the icing on the cake. 🤣👍
