    Deepest sympathy to all those affected. Grew up in Austin on Turtle Creek which flooded every 10 yrs! Just a nightmare to go through!!!
    I’m so sorry!

    I almost can't believe the difference of how Minnesota is responding to the deluge versus Iowa and South Dakota.

    Yesterday they said the water will rise 2 feet if the dam fails. The water has risen 4 feet since and today they still say it'll rise 2 feet if the dam fails. I'd prepare for more than 2 feet if I was downstream...although it's unlikely the dam will collapse now that the water made a wide enough path.

      Hydro power house....could have had a water mill attached over 100 years ago....very common here on East Coast. Many times there's renovations done, and all that's left is the house. Also, people built near rivers back before the modern powergrid....water is life.

If God wanted that river to take out the house and potentially the damn store, then he will have good reasons for it that nobody should question. Nothing happens without reason and his ways are known to him alone.
