Iconic home on Minnesota's Rapidan Dam falls into Blue Earth River

Published 2024-06-26
Much of the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" seems to have turned into one giant puddle. Here's the latest on the impacts of Minnesota's historic flooding.

    Complete negligence by whoever is responsible for that dam. They should have brought a crane in days ago to clear that debris from the other side.

    Would love to see the homeowner snap his fingers and the insurance agent suddenly appears and says, "We got you covered." Liberty bibberty...

    All of this flooding reminds me of the historic flooding that hit Hardin County, TN back in February 2019...over 1,000 homes were affected and over 100 roads were closed as a result of the flooding, with quite a few of those roads having parts of them washed away due to the flooding. Now, even though that county only had around 25,000 to 30,000 people or so, the fact that over 1,000 homes were affected in such a rural area showed just how significant of an impact that the flooding had, but that it also shows just how significantly destructive that a flood like that could hit the Twin Cities area, which has around two thirds of the around 6,000,000 or so people that live in Minnesota. I hope that it never gets THAT bad with the flood that we are having right now.
  • Could they not just block the river by building big walls around it? That way they would end up with more land rather than less and they ouldn't need a bridge anymore so they could make a nice sculpture out of it instead.
  • So sad to see an iconic building go over the cliff , Just shows if you dont keep up on debris cleanup as you now have a massive bill coming . Preventative measures could have avoided all this.
  • Okay so this HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY YEAR🙄It was higher in 2019! So STOP acting like this is a rarity! Fear mongers! Maybe they shouldn’t have put apartments there🙄

    This is quite shocking for a developed country, not that theres flooding but that either people were not warned or not prepared and that the land where people are living is not secure from flooding.

    I hope this passes quickly. Last year was so dry, smokey and hot out. Every year climate change keeps wrecking things now for us everywhere.
