  • I did a horrible job of filming this; shaking the camera, moving around too much; I get that; watch it for what it is: a video that shows the large 200 yard long ice jam on January 12, 2018 on the right fork of the Holly River at Robinson Run in Braxton County, WV. The jam broke up 3 different times. You might also enjoy: • New River Gorge Nation...

      Mixed with the way he walks the camera at nearly the same speed as the flow, paired with the white noise.

    Ice jams are very common up North in the early spring. Sometimes they can cause severe flooding. One year around 30 years ago, they got a bad one in Montpelier, Vermont. I wasn’t there when it happened but I heard about it in the news.

  • @kennethsmith8844

    I really can't complain about the camera, it's a big ass ice jam; you don't need a steady hand to see it. Considering the average age demographic of the people watching and complaining... Are you really at a place to judge? Lord knows some of y'all would listen to your Buick's navigation system and end up turned into an ice cube going on a bridge downstream of an ice jam like this 😒

    As soon as the ice start moving, you guys filming it should stand still, and not also start moving or walking. If you stand still we the viewers will be able to see much better. So please, guys....curb your excitement and stand still while filming moving ice. Many more people will then watch your videos!! Thanks
