  • We captured drone footage of the Rapidan Dam failing. The river took a path around the Dam and slowly eroded the bank away. Swallowing a home along the way. We captured drone footage of other area flooding as well. Make sure you watch until the END!

    That erosion really shows up the pre-cambrian rock.

    Nice video quickly showing all the damage done and what became of the buildings. Going to be a bit scary running the corn this fall.

    Sad to see the family lose their home and then their store. I heard that the county bought the store before they removed it. I hope the county also paid for their house and land. The dam was recommended to be removed years ago but they did not do it.

    Where did all the silt end up? No one is talking about this, but is should be a serious result of the dam failure.

      By some estimates it has released 100 years worth of sediment in the river for several miles down stream. May cause issues with certain species on their spawning sites and possibly benefit other species. Mother nature has its hands full but this is the natural environment and this river will be changed forever both good and bad

    The dam did not fail. The spillway failed.

    Maybe I'm jaded, but I automatically avoid or pause & exit any video that exhorts "watch 'til the end!"

      That’s no problem. The end shows the 3rd day at the dam and how everything is gone now.
      There you go, now you know.

    I guess they didn't see the need for an emergency spillway so the river created one for itself.

    It’s sad to see American infrastructure crumbling, cities in decay, debt at astronomical levels while they continue to spend on the military.
    It’s a sad future for America.

      Contrast this to the Flat Bridge in Jaimaca after Beryl flooded the river. There is a live camera at the Flat Bridge which showed that a back hoe showed up and begin to clear the log jam at the bridge. Shortly after an excavator arrived and cleared the log jam. The whole thing took about 2.5 hours. America used to have that "can do" attitude where things got done.

      I think I read they were going to move it but turns out it was to fragile to move so they tore it down.

    • @loragunning5394

      To prevent the possibility of it falling into the river due to continued erosion of the bank, and thus creating debris that could create damage to structures downstream. I read that the original plan was to try to move the entire building but I guess that wasn't possible. You may have noticed there was another building across the road from the store building that was closer to the eroding river bank that was also torn down and removed, likely for the same reasons.
