The dam store is gone along with the dam playground, the dam house, and the dam bank.
At least they have the dam pictures and the dam video!
@@vickiclark1998 where are the Griswolds when you need them?
Dam it man, where are the dam Griswolds.@sublimehypocrisy
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bevis and Butthead had a field day with this gag." Where's the dam bathroom? " and yes these sophomoric jokes are hilarious.
Just in case no one got the memo - rivers move around. If you build next to a river good luck trying to control the river.
That, and most Dams in America need replaced.
@@thepressurepack3777And a lot of old, unused ones straight up removed.
💯 percent
@@thepressurepack3777this dam was found lacking and they ignored improving it... Minnesota at it's finest
In the case of this dam, keeping the debris cleaned away from it would have allowed the water to flow through the dam instead of the water being forced to find a way around it. They do that here a couple of times a year so bad things like this don't happen.
Oh dear it looks like someone's child found a pair of scissors. 😂😂
Lol instead of "I want my park back!" She should have yelled "I want my bangs back!" 😂
Yup. Got them scissor bangs.
Came here to find this comment. I am not disappointed 😂
@@BOOMBiggityBamlooks like mommy added them to hers?
Her trend breaking style immortalized forever on TV!
I wonder if she'll remember her 15 minutes of fame? 😸
I like Minnesotans standing around in the rain. No umbrellas not even a hood up
We can always tell a tourist.. 😂
Just wait until winter!
It’s how we drink water
We're built different
@@Mastezz 🤣🤣😂😂
Mother nature will always win
(...or just not maintaining structures that require maintenance & upkeep...)
@@RyTrapp0 the dam itself is stable, theres nothing you can do about the banks eroding and water bypassing the dam.
Always, as time and nature always wins , unless it's made out of hard stone such as granite . Nothing man made , has withstood the test of time.
@@manchesterexplorer8519 actually all brass creations will last for millions of years, and will be the only human creation to stand the test of time on that scale
And we will never learn
Somebody tried to cut their own bangs. 😅 2:10
LMAO, I thought you were right but in the next scene you can tell her hair is just caught in her glasses, she doesn't actually have bangs lol.
@@SwiKeyMTC I think kimm is talking about the child.
Yes, let's stick to the truly important things.
@@SquawkingSnailOh, come on. What could be more important than harmless and hilarious shenanigans of small children?
Right, and she had the serious face when she said I want the park back lol children are so precious!
Anyone else unable to stop saying “Rapidan Dam” to themselves over and over?
Rapi dam damn Rapi dam damn 🎵🎵
woooah black betty Rapidan...
@@innercityprepper
Black Betty had a dam (Rapidan)
The damn thing gone wild
Daummm
Lt. Dan, Rapidan Dam....ugh...
I am curious why the cable tree catcher with the buoys that is by the bridge in 2011 is not there today? Who would have ever guessed if you allow a dam to plug and do nothing about it will overflow. Seems a little fishy by the Rapidan dam
Gravity always wins. Never mind mother of nature. S runs down hill.
Ignore the "reporter" rambling the obvious. The little girl is the smartest in the video.
gravity has nothing to do with water finding the path of least resistance.
@2:11 *someone* was left with scissors unsupervised.
Dam close to the store. The twinkees are shaking in their wrappers.
I hope they evacuated all the Hostess! And the ice cream. And the pies and sodie pop!
Erosion doesnt stop and neither does rain ☔

Love and good thoughts for you Minnesota. From Warren County Missouri
Tragic but the damage doesn't even compare to mccook lake in south dakota
this happens when a 100+ year old dam is left to its own devices. its amazing people are surprised by this
Isn’t there any of that $1,700,000,000,000 infrastructure bill left ? Are we building back better still ?
It went to Ukraine...
This dam is an example of why we needed an infrastructure bill years ago but guess who blocked it for decades. I won't say the name but the initials are GOP. The dam is over 70 years old and needed to be updated or torn down even before the flood.
I fear the uniparty over the left or the right.
@@WJV9 Or perhaps, as the good book says, GOD will not be mocked!
Actually there is a wealth of improvements that I've already begun. Most certainly anything better than Mr. Trump ever did.
Such a tragedy. So much history there. I rode bikes there with loads of people including my parents.

Rivers and streams change their course constantly over time. I live about 300 yards from the local creek and when I dig in my garden the rocks are all rounded and water worn, indicating the creek used to run through here.
Give that Girl the Park Back Dammit
Fishin' is still good......that little girl caught a nice MULLET 🐟
Where is this?
For years we would go to the top of the dam and experience the joy of feeling like we weren't in Minnisota. But now we are forced to deal with that reality.
Carving the Grand Canyon didn't take "millions" of years. Amazing how fast a "Great Flood" can carve out the ground.
All that log debris needed to be bailed over the other side of the bridge a week ago!!
Don't know if it's true, but supposedly the 'government contractor' who jumped through all the red tape to get the contract was a "mere five hours away' when the erosion started. I'm sure there was someone local, but since they weren't government approved, we have this dam shame. No common sense left in government any more.
Thanks again Pete Butgig. You can tell he's looking after America.
Is a county owned dam under federal purview?
@@rona4960is rain under federal purview?
@@rona4960 Funny everything was working just fine before the demons stole the election 4 years ago.
State knew about this possibility way before his time
@MegaPuttputt It’s the fault of the convicted felon/sexual predator/insurrection mastermind who did absolutely nothing but give tax cuts to the richest of rich and screwed over the poor and middle class!! Shame on you for blaming the present administration!! It’s so obvious that you are a 45 idiot fan!!
Why are the last two openings of that dam not working!? There are no trees clogging it!
As a Kiwi watching the collapsing state of your 'once great nation...', It's incredible how unstable your fragile and aging infrastructure is falling apart......signs of a failing economy and governmental policies.
I can only pray for sanity to win the day and save you before it ALL comes crumbling down.
My cousin retired from MN state, environmental, as a limnologist. He said that dam has been at risk 40+ years. This was expected, eventually.
I still say they should have removed as much of that debris by the dam then that errosin might not be as bad as it is and maybe that home and store would still be there. Just my opinion.
The scale of the erosion is jaw-dropping!
That's so sad. I hope they get some help soon....😢
Why the flooding, thought that happened in March/April over there …
Too many inches of rain.
I bet the people who bought homes on the now drained lake are pissed off.
wonder if the dam is worth having if this is going to be the net result
Y all did a great job.
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men
Godzilla
I want the park back too 😢
Why not clean,the debris clogging the dam ? The water pressure is routed towards the home. .
If the dam was in Ukraine it would have been fixed.
2:10 Something tells me the park will be missed dearly
Ask BLM to build a new park, they got plenty of your money 💰 😂
So , they have problems but the focus was defund the police so did they defund the dam?
Government spend $1.2 trillion a year to fight war and don't spend on 110 years old dam to build the new one.😂
Ummm, you want to talk to local and state government about that.
It's a magnitude cheaper just to eliminate obsolete dams.
Send this rain our way to North Alabama please.
Holy cow, looks like they're going to lose the store too
Poor folks living in that area!!! 🙏🏻
Grand Canyon was cut when the flood water receded
So nobody going to talk about how deep they pounded those white fence posts into the ground back when that fence was built lol?
Well damn
Dayam! Dam dam was washed a dam way along with the dam generators and even the dam playground with the dam bridge probably on the dam way next. What a dam sight of the dam site. Dam erosion don't dam play.
Mother Nature RULES 😢
usually fish hits wall and says "Dam" but not in Rapi Dan Dam
This dam is a testament to how well something could be built in the age before engineers. People at that time could use what was called common sense.
DAMN!
I can't help but think a helicopter and a grapple would have been able to take the debris off the dam and lessen the flow around it considerably, along with dropping rock against the bank to save that property..
You obviously can help thinking
2:47 He called it the historic "Damn Store".. hehehe...
Yes! More fishing!!!
“Whoa black Betty Rapidan”
I've eaten at the cafe that used to be there.
Humans: Yah, ya know. We’re gonna put this dam in and we’ll use the water pressure to serve OUR needs.
River: Uh. Hold my beer…..
More global warming means more water evaporation, means more rain, means more flooding, means more problems like this.
Water will literally cut through anything! he said that there was houses that are no longer there. Oh boy would I love to hear the call to their insurance? Does that count as flood insurance? I’m sure it’s something that will allow them to not pay out.
We love sweet pie 😋
Dam.
He's wrong about how much of the dam is gone.
The newscaster 'An enormous amount of land has been lost' by the water going around the dam. My calculated is about 10 acres of land has been swept away. Hardly what I would consider an 'enormous amount of land'.
Oh, they learned about earth science... I learned about this about 26 years ago in middle school
Who cut that child’s hair 😂 I’m dying lmao 💀
Why hasn't the fuckin state done anything to stop the erosion? DO SOMETHING!
....did someone trim all the vegitation that holds the soil in place, or did someone delve too greedily and too deep?
That's not a dam anymore. It's a pier
Why aren't they telling everyone to stay away from any water that has accumulated because of the high water in rivers. There is a very good chance that there a lot of sewage in it. I bet a lot of sewage plants have over run there capacities. Had this happen over and over in Houston TX. I worked for a company that maintained sewer systems. Every tropical storm that dumped a lot of rain caused treatment plants to over run there capacities.
I hope people will get help. 😢😢
The good news is that the dam has avoided failure and they won’t need to rebuild it.
ha ha ha.
The bridge, though, is not safe anymore.
Is the dam still holding water? The dam has failed.
Who builds a house right next to a Dam? 😮😮😮😮
Stay safe
The whole dam thing!!?
Is a shame about that house. Heard it was a historic place and a good family was there for decades. My heart goes out to them.
It's just a reminder. We like to think we can control nature and we are often reminded....when nature wants to take back control....it does!
She needs her bangs back
Dam it
The earth givith, and the earth taketh away.
Water 1. Earth 0.
720P? Come on Fox..
And you wonder when the Earth is going to rebuild itself now you are watching it hooray for the hero named Earth!!
You tube has been promoting that the Mississippi is going dry part of their click bait
What a dam shame.
A damn shame of the dam
anyone tole you I gave a damn damn sure told you wrong.
You out your dam mind 😁
To whom are you speaking to ?
@@JennyThomas-nv8zh do you really give a dam?
Major Infrastructure in America is 50 to 100 years old
older than that in some places
And there are 800 US military bases around the world what we know about.
Most much older
It's ok, mother nature will help us replace it the wrong way
@Zodroo_Tint 800? WTF did number come from? More conspiracy bs ?
I love media explanations of stuff. Reminds me of my grade school days.
They were looking at satellite images, you wanted them to turn into engineers right before our eyes?
lololololololol
15 of the hardest years of your life
Half of this country is stoned 24/7 you know.
They have to dumb things down or many will be confused.
If that bridge were in Pittsburgh, busses would still be driving over it until it collapses
Don't be like that now.
Pittsburgh has more bridges than any city in the world. It's amazing more collapses haven't happened with the amount of rain they get and all the rivers there. Grew up in Pittsburgh and can honestly say I never worried about bridges collapsing. Lol
gotta thank Trump for that, when his too busy allowing his government to do drug instead of pass laws
@@xxdesertstormshut up! This has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS!
@@kristacontreras6063actually when money is hard to come by to perform even basic maintenance and upkeep because it's more important to give tax cuts then politics does have a role. It's been decades that our infrastructure has had a failing grade all because of money. And that's politics.
Hope people, animals,and property are safe.
❤Can confirm, humans and dogs have been out of the dam area since 2AM or so Monday morning. They got as much out of the house and store as was possible.
What it looks like when they pocket the money set aside for preventative maintenance on the dam and roads .
I like that, dude I got a lot of good pie at that store, smiling ear to ear😁😄😃😀
Maybe Minnesota should worry more about their infrastructure than changing their state flag and focus on making the bridges and damns safe for their populations.
Yeah lmfao keep dreaming
Keep voting democrat 😂
Dam* right.
That dam is solid... 😂 That's why the water is going around it you dunce.
Is that the state where the infamous somalian lives?
Hurricane Harvey flooded the greater Houston area, my home was flooded for 4 days. I hope that fema can help these folks like they aided me. Pro tip, after your home is no longer flooded purchase at least one dehumidifier, and cut the lower sheet rock in your home and remove all the soggy insulation. Do not let mold get a foothold in your house. Good luck!
If dehumidifiers are sold out, you could use a window air conditioner. Just set it on a table inside, run it, and collect the water. Basically the exact same thing as a dehumidifier but much easier to come accross.
Nope if you have flood and home owners call insurance company and tell them I need help now. Went through this in 06 in Florida with four hurricanes. We were going around doing the work tearing ceiling tiles and insulation out and I told the higher-ups dont we have insurance for this, and they said yeah. Then told me well well well that makes sense. And our company was over insured so they listened and got on the phone and said We need this we need that and they got it. That's why you pay insurance.
@@briansmith5469 "if you have flood insurance" I sadly did not, but if i did.....
@MikeSmith-ch7jv
I'm sorry I understand we were insurance broke in Florida we had insurance on top of insurance and never once claimed and should have. Had our whole screen enclosure wiped out. Luckily I had friends in the business that repaired it. But sorry for that even having it sometimes doesn't help out.
@@briansmith5469 there will be zero machinery and equipment locally available. Water remediation. Companies will be tapped out in 0.2 seconds. The best that most people will do is the advice given by this guy. And that's exactly what the remediation companies would do except with 5x the dehumidifiers, plus diesel heaters to keep the interior air temps at 90F-95F for ideal water saturation in the air for the dehumidifiers.
All because nobody bothered to clean out the debris that was clogging the spillways. (Or just install a couple of logbooms upstream, angled to one side for easier cleanout.) Stepping on dollars to pick up pennies, people never learn.
The event happened so fast there wasn't time to clean anything.
This was a major storm with major flooding and it unfolded in just a couple of hours.
@@matthewmoore7447 Yeah... doing a root cause analysis (what you call MMQ) does help... doofus.
@@matthewmoore7447 Nothing monday morning quarterback about it, this is negligence.
Every other dam in the country has booms that catch debris. Even conducting a feasabilty study, instead of just hiring an engineer to make a boom, speaks volumes about the incompetent management.
That's before you even get to the part where they negligently ignored the results of their study.
An earlier video stated that the company with the excavator to clear debris was five hours away from the dam at the time the flooding started. My question is there wasn't someone else with an excavator in the area that was just as qualified? I'm guessing there was
@@nicloewenhagen5557 But they weren't the one who had jumped through all the miles and miles of governmental red tape to get contract.
Shouldn't Pete Buttplug be working on this.
He is. Giving a speech about how we need to spend trillions on climate change.
@@dbmn7571 😆😆
Perhaps the bridge. The dam is more in the Army Corps of Engineers' line.
Pete is busy working on his boyfriend’s spillway. It got clogged.
Wait a dam minute.
😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
All they had to do is cleaning the outlets…. but they let it happen….
100 years from now all that eroded away will be a reminder to everyone there how high the river was back in 2024
It won't exist.jesus is coming.repent
