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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Praying.

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.

That house has been on the edge for a week

Worst part is that they likely have no insurance.

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.

To take the dam out would cost 81 million $? Seems to me it took itself out for free.

State made it so hard for me to live anyway working with my family keeping me from knowing i had a home living in a shelter trust me its sadd yo but rebuild

You two need to coordinate your outfits…whoooweee

Harriet island has been underwater dozens of times, this is real history. So today, this is just more of the same. This is not some crazy 1000 year occurrence, dozen or more times within 100 years.

Huge dam.

When will people wake up and realize that oceans, rivers and streams will do and go where they damn well please? Just rediculous!

what the hell has happened to all the billions of tax (our) money we paid for 100 years+- for roads, bridges etc etc etc

Watch the water.

Anyone else noticed how incredibly the tv people look in their outfits 😂 did they have a costume part after work
