So dramatic. Let this pond flood the fields and feed the gound with the water it needs.

Looking at google maps, there is no river there. What exactly is the point of the dam? Is it just the edge of the lake?

Looks like a retention pond

This is in my hometown... It isn't very big, and only about 25 homes have a chance of being affected. It's a soil conservation pond that the CoE got a grant to repair. Guess they weren't banking on all of this rain.
I don't know why the news is making such a massive deal of this. At worst it floods a couple of homes, maybe floods Hwy 287 for a bit.

1-2 hours has passed. Any update? Water still holding back? No end of the world yet?

By 6 p m today, the cause of all the rain, etc, will be GLOBAL WARMING

They changed the status. It's not going to break.

It's fine for now, until more storms likely hit tonight/tomorrow.
