It’s not historic flooding it’s a dam failure. If it’s flooding then no insurance will pay if it’s a dam failure then it someone’s fault. If it’s a company owned dam why was it not maintained. If it was regulations that made the dam owner’s shut down why couldn’t the government maintain the dam that was not productive for a company.
It’s sad that government feels the need and greed to take advantage of those citizens like that , The masks are ineffective for viruses and affect peoples mood. The Spanish flu 100 years ago was a plan Demic also the vaccination is what killed millions and those Snake oil salesman it’s all in your local library or online. those who don’t study history tends to repeat it and there is spiritual wickedness in high places let no man deceive you. tell lie vision. Psych Op ,fourth generation warfare , crimes against humanity. 😎
Thank you woodTV8... This is excellent coverage of such a catastrophic event... "no more donations" - made possible by the overwhelmingly beautiful people of my wonderful state, Michigan
At 2:14, those are telephone and possibly CTV cables, not “electrical wires.” You can tell both by their position on the poles and the splice cases visible near their attachment points. Both use only low voltage and pose no electrocution risk. Power lines, on the other hand, are always at or very near the tops of poles, for reasons made obvious by this sad footage.
My father used to tell me "I don't care if the house is gorgeous, it's in a low area, you want a house with good run-off and elevation" He also hated "cruise ships, turkey bacon, and 4cylinder front wheel drive vehicles."
I don't have a television, so I only see these types of news reports when I watch them on youtube. I inanity of it is astounding. On site reporters, nod their head and then start talking in a well rehearsed any story monologue. It's all the same, for every story.
Every dam has a life span...they need regular maintenance and inspections. My heart goes out to the communities and the people affected by this tragity

Only one thing is certain in this country. The rich folk who own, did not maintain, and blatantly ignored all warnings about this dam for the last 15 years will remain rich. I wouldn't be surprised if they turn a profit
"right now we are headed south on Main street" I'm so sorry for laughing. It's crazy because I used to deliver the mail to the Sanford and edenville post offices.
A brand new realization hits for the ones who think that there were all that and a bag of chips now they're homeless I wonder what they think now makes me kind of wonder it kind of humble you
The utility operating those dams could not afford to maintain them. So they lowered the water level to a safe height. but SOMEONE at the STATE told them to raise it because of some endangered fresh water muscle. It was Attorney General Dana Nessel
Why are we always told that dams are for flood control, but the way they are managed creates more flooding? Why are most dams filled up with water and then they maintain the basins behind the dams at a mostly full level? Maintaining mostly full basins provides almost zero holding capacity during large rain events. Why wouldn't it be more beneficial to maintain basins at very low levels, so that during large rain events, the basins would need to fill up before any flooding would occur? If basins are already full to begin with, wouldn't almost all of the water from the large rain event be all flood water? All the dams within a watershed could be maintained at a mostly wide open state with low water levels, and then after a large rain event, all the dams along the river could partially close, so each are slowly filling up their basins all at once, with some filling up faster, but all raising their levels together controlling the flow. Then increase the closing of the dams as needed to hold back more water. This would provide an enormous amount of holding capacity compared to the current so called management plans of today.
THESE DISASTERS IS A OPEN INVITATION TO DEVELOP NEW WAYS TO RENOVATE CITIES AFTER THESE DISASTERS THEY ALWAYS REBUILD THE SAME WAY, I NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT
Naturally when in a flood , usually a boat or a dinghy is the usual mode of transport to get around . Doubt you will be going around in a vehicle , unless a VW Beetle . This is a very terrible flood what happened in Michigan .
with smartphone technology today...watching clips on RUclips and other online media...helps everyone to at lease learn from other countries disasters that people will just pick up and get back on their feet. Now days I think people well hopefully learn not to attach themselves to material things too much....only because life is so fragile and the main thing out of all this we will weather any storm and pandemic and continue to survive. God Bless.
Hope for the best go with the flow Bless them lord have mercy upon them. Then to cope with the coronavirus too. In Jesus’s name I Pray that you see all thru thank to those who are stepping out to help n donate n May he grant them comfort good health n strength n courage to move forward. In Jesus’s Christ name we pray amen. This is a eye opener we all going tru something yet when you see n hear about this situation thank the lord for what you have as we see here they lost a lot n now have to find another place n belongings as well.......
Go dig in the history picture books , there's bad floods in the 1800 covering downtown Saginaw . 500 year flood is stretching truth it seems. Plus they didn't have hydroelectric dams back then
SOMEONE IS NOT DOING THEIR JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DOING PMS ON THE DAM ITSELF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FIRED THOSE OLD PEOPLE THEY JUST SAT DOWN AND NEVER INSPECTED THE STATUS OF THE DAM SOMEONE IN A HOT SEAT!!
Sad this reporter says “the rain”, again he says it was the RAIN!! NO IT WASN’T! He knows how 3, can I say that again??!! THREE DAMS IN ONE STATE BREACH!!!?? Nah, no coincidence there! Seems like this last one was at night, were the other 2 at night? That would be a good time to put a laser beam on a dam and make a hole and no one see it, yah think? Hit the thumbs up if you think so.. And pray Psalms 89 for protection. Praying for you people in Michigan.
where has everyone gone for shelter who is feeding 5hem what emergency services are there or where. yes floods are extreme. I want tinges fron the folks that had to seek shelter somewhere
IN an ideal world these chemical plants would have flood defences in place to deal with a flood this size ! , and if they dont then they shouldnt be there !!How many times have we heard of simular situations and its ended in pollution problems ..
Yeah, people wanted their houses washed away. Cause losing everything in the middle of a world wide pandemic is exactly what “Michigan” wanted... you’re such a jackass.
A resident called this a ‘natural disaster’ no sir. I’m afraid this one is man made.
This is so sad, I'm sorry for all the people affected by this flooding!
You haven't seen nothing yet its storm season
It’s not historic flooding it’s a dam failure. If it’s flooding then no insurance will pay if it’s a dam failure then it someone’s fault. If it’s a company owned dam why was it not maintained. If it was regulations that made the dam owner’s shut down why couldn’t the government maintain the dam that was not productive for a company.
The money wanted to stay Dry in the Pockets of the Crooked Politicians.
Think laser beams from above.....yep that will do it!
They can’t even repair their roads in Michigan
It’s sad that government feels the need and greed to take advantage of those citizens like that , The masks are ineffective for viruses and affect peoples mood. The Spanish flu 100 years ago was a plan Demic also the vaccination is what killed millions and those Snake oil salesman it’s all in your local library or online. those who don’t study history tends to repeat it and there is spiritual wickedness in high places let no man deceive you. tell lie vision.

Please impeach the governor.
I agree!
@Ahmir Ahmir She is an idiot and needs to step down.

Take care of business in your own state
A reminder to never buy or build in a low lying area near any source of water
Yeah I live in florida good luck with that
Ancient mud floods talked about this a few years ago 😳🤯 I hope that all the people are safe and recovers from this.
ME TOO I HAVE FAMILY 👪 WHO LIVES THERE AND MY EXTENDED FAMILY 👪 TOO.

Whose idea was it to approve a chemical plant in a flood zone
My father used to tell me "I don't care if the house is gorgeous, it's in a low area, you want a house with good run-off and elevation" He also hated "cruise ships, turkey bacon, and 4cylinder front wheel drive vehicles."
🤣🤣🤣
I Like Your Dad
I wouldn't be out floating around in a metal boat.
Dam talk about watching a whole lake move downtown😱😬
My heart goes out to all who are effected by this flood may God bless each and everyone of you 🙏😢
Prayers for all the people & the animals affected by this tragic disaster 🙏🏻❤🐱♏☯️🌌🏴
Reporting Leon Hendricks: you're awesome! Thanks for reporting.
Shouldn’t alter the natural flow of life. Disaster will always be the end result.

Well, gee golly. She's in a boat. I would have sworn it was a convertible.

👌
Sorry folks. Prayers your way.
What was the maintenance plan on the dam? Had it been maintained? Had it been inspected?
Maintenance plan? Inspection? THAT SOUNDS LIKE COMMUNISM
End of times only room for the rich but glory has yet to come that is God
Amen George 🙏
@@debwoods5834 AMEN!!
Every dam has a life span...they need regular maintenance and inspections. My heart goes out to the communities and the people affected by this tragity
The issue wasn’t the dam’s age, it was the spillways not having enough capacity, allowing for the water levels to rise too high and push down the dam.
Is this inevitable with all US dams?
GOV Nitwhit should be put in prison for this. Way to vote Michigan. There's consequences for the way you vote.
There are always consequences for the way anyone votes, just a matter of picking the lesser of two evils.
I am so sorry
Leon. Great reporting
Prayers for Michigan 🙏

People can't go back there ever again?
so, with out the damns the water would be this high normally? seems kind dumb to build in any of those areas and never expect disaster?
Only one thing is certain in this country. The rich folk who own, did not maintain, and blatantly ignored all
warnings about this dam for the last 15 years will remain rich. I wouldn't be surprised if they turn a profit
They will make it into a profit
GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE INVOLVED! MY FAMILY WILL PRAY THAT THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD IS WITH YOU ALL!!!
AMEN! I , too am praying.
Did it fail?

That M20 bridge, highlighted at the end, was just redone in the past year, so I'd hope it's structurely safe...
Hope that water isn’t full of lead.

That reporter, Jacqueline Francis, is really good. Mark my words, she’s going to be on a national news show before you know it.
Water:This land is mine!!! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🏞
what about animals????

Then increase the closing of the dams as needed to hold back more water. This would provide an enormous amount of holding capacity compared to the current so called management plans of today.
Prayers and thoughts going out for the people of Michigan that are being inundated by the rain leading to overwhelming flooding and dams breaking.
Dams aren't supposed to collapse. Somebody was asleep in the wheelhouse. Can you say Witmer?

Hello 👋 guys in times like this we must pray get it all into our knees pray praise and in all things always give thanks 🙏 to God
You got a loose screw rattling around. Yea, religion.
Please people go to higher ground where its safe,dont go back untill its safe
ya think?
Why so many dams? What happens when we redesign this land. As everything else man does, reconstruct, redesign, or redefine, cosequences.
Naturally when in a flood , usually a boat or a dinghy is the usual mode of transport to get around . Doubt you will be going around in a vehicle , unless a VW Beetle . This is a very terrible flood what happened in Michigan .
they keep saying 500 year flood, there would be no flood if there weren't any dams
Just like in the movie Evans Almighty
Let's all get back to help people facing real disasters

The town is Practicing social distancing, that should make the governor happy
Dams are good for flooding. Too many houses that's why.

Should’ve added more dirt to the dam. The dams should’ve been replaced decades ago. The government has known that but, corona virus.
