The pictures and video on the news, and Social Media don't show the devistation nearly as well as this video does. Great job.
Thanks! Be cool man
Fake news that's why lol
I see natural beauty overcoming devastation
Keep up the great work 👍
What is done cannot be undone.
5:14 our old cottage had it for over 30 years. Happy to see it fared well. Best of luck to the people on the lake. Did not realize how barren the bottom is. No wonder I never caught anything huge..
You know where to look now.
I’ve seen pretty big musky come out of wixom lol not too sure what you were using
Well should be easy to tell who's dumping sewage in the lake now.
Lakefront property for sale.
Cheap.
Lake not included.
You just know it . . .
Some "misguided" but still feeling entitled "Donnywannbe" (generic term as it covers both male and female "Karens "mentality, hormones optional )
(who think acting presidential >: unaccountable and a two-faced lying POS)
is getting a lawyer ' cause there just has to be somebody / anybody they can sue for " damages"
Does the property's description go to the waters edge? Lakefront larger than the back.
William Tomkie
That red house and it's location was sweet too.
@@williamtomkiel8215 Yes blame this on Trump! You libtards are libtarding as usual.
Once vegetation starts growing it will look a lot nicer.
Wixom Meadows.
A few nice parks and golf course
@@lumox7 Wixom weed bed.
@@235buz Wixom, Damn Weeds !
And it has so far it is much nicer to look at.
I doubt the over the top "island" property owners are happy with their investment now......
I'd say make a park on the two dry strips on the sides now. The park would go on for miles it'd be dope.
Yeah, it really breaks my heart that they don't have a private island any more.
@@davidbroughall3782 maybe if they didn't keep it till they self and let other people come around there they water would have been still there God don't like ugly...
@@dantechilds9866 God doesn't like semi-literates either.
@@reallyhappenings5597 don't use an adjective as a noun.
01:18 Mother Nature doesn't care how much money you have, she had a job to do and did it well. Now the river runs freely.
There you go Joseph. Let there be Trout in the Tettabawassee Basin, once again. Mother Nature did well....
Yeah. I was thinking we should stop damming natural waterways for real estate or leisure lakes
Nature wants to kill you.
There are still two more Dams on the Titabuousy River but you are correct that nature did run freely. At this point we really should consider not re-building those Dams and allow the River to flow down its original path. It Would be cheaper and far prettier. Better Trout fishing also !
@@johnisbell574 Thanks John. There's a really bad section of the Rifle River that needs a dam collapse, where nature is concerned and that dam has water showing on the face. Lake Omegma was built for the greed and satisfaction of Snoots. 4 Great Lakes and Thousand of other natural Lakes weren't enough for some people. Now MDNR making it impossible to access 90% of the Best trout fishing in America. It's one of the driving forces for those people wanting a lake in their Back Yard. Government is EVIL, and absolutely incompetent in these matters. Trashy Fishermen need to be Locked up when they leave their trash behind, or just shot by land owners... LOL. I live in the worst state in the country, where fish try to learn to fly at birth (...as opposed to fly fishing), Dirty Polluted Ohio. Good God are the Rangers ever assholes. My Dog and I were attacked by a Psycho with a knife, on a trail. They apparently thought I was shitting when I called it in twice. Two days later the Ranger, with a cop showed up at my house to arrest me for a false 911 call. The Picture I had taken, inadvertently capturing a fuzzy image of Al Qaeda Joe in the background was all that saved me from going to jail. TRUE STORY... I don't go near my favorite fishing hole at all anymore.
So the steam shovel at 3:50 has been under the lake since the 1920s!
would be a great project for those guys on youtube that get old rusty stuff and bring them back to life.
No, I still use that. We brought it in for some of the excavation work on the lake.
@Leonard Chornomaz it is a steam shovel and will removed in October and restored.
@Leonard Chornomaz I have seen plenty of video of the steam shovel as well as an interview with the now owner of it.
@Leonard Chornomaz Type O steam shovel, sir. Observe: th-cam.com/video/XfHhgJyb_1M/w-d-xo.html
The news didn't show the aftermath. Great job documenting it for us. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Me and my buddies used to go up to this lake with his family who live on it and seeing that house on the island was my favorite thing about that lake and seeing it now makes me sad
@Elizabeth Frantes Apparently the people downriver who lost everything are being screwed by their insurance companies who are telling them tough luck they don't have to pay up because those folks don't live in a flood plain.
I was really surprised to see that house still there. Looks like the only island that survived.
Having lost my house, this video brings up the loss of decades of memories
Everyone upstream lost the water, everyone downstream lost their land
This is a good opportunity to remove all the vertical stumps that are actually a hazard to boats. In many cases, that stuff was cut before filling at time of construction. It may be neat to remove that steam boiler and frame ( shovel?) to place in a park. That is lot of water loss.
Great footage! I appreciate the lack of voice-overs. I personally find talking while viewing such a moving, impactful video distracts from the impact of the situation. Your video speaks volumes without any verbiage. Thank you for your succinct video.
I would have appreciated a small voice over as to where the breach was and so on. Not much, just something to put what we are looking at into context.
Wow...Great job capturing the aftermath from above.
Man forgot his place on the planet and Mother Nature reminded him of it!
Give us another 10,000 years im sure we will surpass mother nature, if we can survive all that time.
We've only been "smart" for like 4thousand years. The universe (mother nature) had like about a 13 billion year head start.
@@Priest_Of_Zebak interesting
Good time to find your missing 100 lures.
Deadass. I was just thinking about that. Only to find that lure you lost on a stump 2 months ago is now 20 feet up lmao
Seems I read that the owners of the houses had recently won a law suit to raise the water level of the lake. Guess that didn’t work out for them.
Idiots
When financial influence is put before wisdom.
now they have permanent decrease in water level
The damn company said it was the city told them to raise it. if it was citizen lawsuite the citizens probably worked for the city if it floods every 4 years why would the citizens want it higher its just news propaganda You probably belive 9-11 was by terriosts also look how much control government took after 9-11 listen to all phone calls and text its control and fear government gonna come in and fix it now though right. It was there plann from get go. DIVIDE AND CONQUER THE CITIZENS WILL FALL.

Bill, You Have Captured The Devastation Of This Once Proud And Vibrant Area. We Can Only Hope That They Will Be Able To Rise Up And Find A Way Through The Decades Of Loss That Will Follow. If The Area Can Return To Some Of It's Former Beauty Will Require So Much From Both Man And God. Just Maybe It Will Survive Going Forward. Thanks For Sharing A Bit Of What Nobody Ever Could Have Imagined. We Can Only Hope That There Is A Lesson To Learn From This Monumental Tragedy Of Epic Proportion.
Repair the dam. Problem solved. I don't see a lot of "devastation" in this video. I just see water missing. Getting the water back is easy. It's the lawsuits and the politics etc that will take the time. We are still in the "finger pointing phase" right now. The State made some very bad decisions and those in charge will need some time to cover that up. The lake will be back. No worries. If you are looking for a home on a lake this is the place to buy as prices should be coming down a great deal in the next couple of years.
Bernie yeah aight, how about you pay for that
YO State made bad decisions???? GOVT TOLD DAM OWNERS THE DAMS WERE SUBSTANDARD needed repair upgrades MOST DAMS ARE PRIVATE and the vast majority like 90%+ that fail are private
Looks to me that the vibrancy was ALL structured from a few RICH people? 🤔 build house's now like other communities have ALWAYS DONE! Water's GONE!
Would have been nice to have “When the Levee Breaks” as the background track....
Perfect music idea!
No american pie.
Or better yet, no music at all. Throw some commentary in there with info about the damn and such. Let some folks learn a few things about our state.
This isn't funny. Jesus Christ, Dan. What is wrong with you?
@@trreb1 Dan is a jerk. Making light of this horror is outrageous.
Not real broken up about people losing private islands and waterfront properties. As usual, the people most affected by this disaster are the ones that can least afford it. It's the people downstream of this that are really suffering.
YEP.
Even worse is they are rebuilding at the expense of many for the benefit of a few😢
It does refill aquiffers
Thousands of tree/tree stumps that remained intact-upright underwater for nearly 100 years! WTF, how is that possible if so? WOW
Oxygen deprivation, freshwater muck.
Great footage, and music. Thanks!
I spent so much time on this lake boating and jet sking in my 20s. My favorite time of year was October when all the fall color was out and the lake was calm.
My Wife & I where by there last week and went for a short walk along rails to trails. Still a lot of work going on. there was a guy mowing weeds where the lake was.
It's so sad, yet so very interesting to see the original riverbed and the tree stumps that grew next to them.
Looks like it’ll be much easier to find Petoskey stones now that the water level has dropped 😂 also what a great place for off roaders with all that mud & sand!! 👍🏻
You're capturing history. Well done 👍👍
The bottom of every river and/or creek usually consists of geological crack which is very hard to seal and stabilise and if you try to block it with dirt and not concrete the water will eventually erode its way through the original path ...
Could someone with a lake front property extend his property line into where the lake was?
Edenville Dam did not fail from the flood. It failed from years of neglect.
Following the federal government's 2018 license revocation, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) took oversight of the dam. EGLE determined that the dam was structurally sound.
To me it looks like they allowed it to fill up too high because of lawsuits. People in certain areas wanted the water higher and they sued. So now here we are everybody lost. Common sense overshadowed by litigation. It should have never been as high as it was beforehand. I think it would have been fine if they just maintained it at a lower water level at all times. Now they can build a new one I imagine that's the plan I dunno.
@@moonshinefuel Are they going to build a new dam?
The Dumbocrat leaders took the money and put in pockets instead of repairs
@@wiserbud3404 Source? Or are you just a common troll.
@@wiserbud3404 Boyce Hydro owned the dam since 2004, the dam was known to need its spillway extended since 1999. The owner of Bryce Hydro pocketed all the money instead of repairs (estimated around 1 million in electricity sold to consumers energy a year www.bridgemi.com/michigan-environment-watch/two-heirs-bought-midland-dams-tax-shelter-tragedy-followed ). The EGLE then took control and decided it was structurally sound, but structurally sound and up to code do not mean the same thing, while the dam was structurally sound, the spillway was not large enough to handle "Full Flood" percentage. This was 2 years after the feds pulled the "operators permit" from Boyce, the Four Lakes Association was planning to buy the dams and along with the state make improvements by 2023, WAY faster than the 15 years Boyce hydro was working with www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/05/20/ferc-revoked-failed-edenville-dam-permit-flood-midland-gladwin/5226648002/ . When this event happened the dam met "Full Flood" and the spillway couldn't handle it thus making the water penetrate the earthen dam from the top. Once the water started spilling over the top of the sodded area erosion did its thing and well... everything LITERALLY went down hill from there. I do place some blame on the state for suing Boyce hydro for keeping lake levels up, specially during spring thaw, but Boyce Hydro knowingly bought the dam knowing it had issues and then danced around repairs it for 15 years ( www.ferc.gov/CalendarFiles/20180910172800-P-10808-058.pdf ) and was negligent about it.
Good time for dock repairs though! Gotta look on the bright side.
No it's time to sell the boat and scrap the dock.
There’s no bright side,not even a blunt hair.
Richard Raymond there's so much more land now, and a river.
Heard no one had the money to repair the dam so they were most likely going to return it to a more natural configuration for the most part. No more lake houses or boat docks any more.
No point, the lake won't come back.
Why don't other media cover this. 🤔🤔.
Any way good work with the video.
From the atv tracks it appears that the exposed lake bed is firming up rather quickly. That surprises me. The sediment there in Michigan must be different than what I have seen in central Illinois. When I was a young man I went for a walk with a young lady across a drained lake bed about one month after the lake had been drained. There was a surface crust that was cracking in the sun, but you could feel the crust move. On an impulse I playfully pull my hands on the young lady's shoulders and put weight on them. She broke through the crust and went up to her knees in black muck. I had one hell of a time getting her out of there. I haven't seen her since.
Dick move bro
Excellent coverage of this disaster. Nice, smooth flying. Your flight shows the massive size of Wixom Lake. 👍👍
Hey thanks... Hope you’re doing well!!
Talk about instant property devaluation.
Time to get a few pieces of property
I bet ya the tax assessor doesn't lower the taxes...
Time to fire up the thumpers and tear shit up
it's amazing how much water is flowing at 8:50 . it's no wonder the dam couldnt get enough water through.
sell your boat, plant some trees
and take a 50% property value cut, file for bankruptcy.
@@trentjoslin4086 Property losing value is no reason for bankruptcy unless you were planning to sell soon because you bought something you couldn't afford. The loss happens only if you sell at this now lower value... depending on the next steps, they could be sitting on what will become a really valuable house on a growing forest.
lou oldschool - grab a dirt bike, great dirt bike track, right outside
Mother nature wins again, nice.
An still undefeated!!! Mother nature!!an the crowd goes wild!!
Good evening my drone brother. Hey man amazing video Sir. Nicely done and good job. Thanks sooo much for sharing this great video with us brother. Please keep those good videos coming. God bless and stay safe. Have a great evening Captain 👨✈️. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Wow that's some beautiful views
if i owned that red house id dig a moat around the property and divert some of the river flow
I viewed your video yesterday of of the devastation Downstream, Great job in showing the devastation . In contrast those people lost likelihoods + homes, the only thing these folks lost was just water. The transformation of their landscape has been very traumatic. It's a lose-lose situation upstream or Downstream
The ones downstream died or lost everything in minutes though. Big difference.
UltraGamma25 I don’t think anyone died though. 💁🏼♀️
Back to nature, this is the way it was before we decide to mess with it, look at all the trees.
Yeah, I was thinking it looked like a tree graveyard that just got uncovered.
I just can’t stop thinking about how confused the fish must have been.
Lake front to River front .....very cool! Enjoy the flow ...............
How awesome for those home owners.. now they can clean up the lake and make repairs easily!
I loved your video I could watch this 100 times. Please please make more of all of the rest of the lake. My grandmother used to have a cabin just north of the big island and right out from the little island. My brother is on Smallwood lake.
If they rebuild the dam, the drone footage will be very useful in finding places to fish, plus the free flowing water will create new channels that are highways for fish movement.
Oh this had to smell AMAZING!
Good job. Love the footage. That water has really destroyed the area. I hope they can do something before the water rises again. I enjoyed the flight. Thank you for sharing.
The dam failed!.......... the water is not going to rise again! Duh!!
Jeez !
gr8tful Piper hahaha you beat me to it, it’s a river now
Phantom Flight 101 , you failed to understand what a dam is and how it works . The dam broke , water rushed out and will not rise again until they repair or make a new one . No dam , no lake .
Brian Van Horne That is lie and you don't have a clue what you are talking about. There was devastating and record flooding. Do you ignorant people just make shit up because you are clueless? How do you come up with this crap? Enjoy your bliss.
Great video and flying sorry to see them people losing so much .
So next year as the county reassess their homes,do you think the property taxes will drop?
Its still water FRONT. Just a wee bit longer walk.
@@roberthertz6634 It's now "river front"ish.
Now they have more land so the price goes up
Most likely not but in all honesty they'll probably go up to repair the damage. 😲😲😡😡😧😧😢😢😝😝✌✌
@Leonard Chornomaz in michigan the Property taxes never drop even if you lose 80% market value
more land to build on in a flood plain now.
@Elizabeth Frantes facts. You reap what you sow.
All that timber, right in the channel edge. Those were the money spots for fishing!
Wow the wonderful music you picked
Yikes
In RI, there is a large reservoir out in the middle of vast woods. When you fly over going to the Providence airport, if the sky and sun are just right, you can see a town under the water.
Think of the beautiful forest that now gets to grow back 🥰
It's funny. Lakes seem like they are all 100's of feet deep. Fascinating stuff.
So much for the valuable "lakefront" -- mudfront -- property.
Very well done video. It shows the immense area affected. Interesting to see the natural flow of the riverbed now.
Fantastic fly, great details. Thanks
Wow that’s just insane, can only imagine how this is going to affect all the people in this area, thanks for sharing metro drones.
Most of them are seasonal, they just go to a lake like the rest of us.
@Amy Sternheim Wrong...is was built for flood control down stream.
Y'all can't keep everything forever
The stink as all that mud and silt dries out must be horrendous,
It is. I live around a lake and the dam needs repaired often so the lake has to be drained periodically. It’s a big stinky mess.
The stink would be just off the charts. Dying fish and such.
It's horrible I went there to check it out and thought I might stay somewhere but the stench was overwhelming
Just loving my muck front property the lake and the property value both dropped in an hour !!!!!!
Great video to have for reference so you know where all the snag zones are and the deepest areas to fish.
Wow! That really tells a story. Nice work Bill!
The house in the preview photo just went from $1,100,000 to $350,000 just like that.
So where did all this water go....this is the first time hearing this.
It was a man-made lake, replant the forest that was there originally.
Awesome video. Glad you got a decent shot of that steam shovel
I think this is a very good lesson for everyone when looking for lake-front property. First question: Is this a natural lake or one that is man-made because of a dam?
A reservoir should NEVER be considered a lake. A reservoir should NEVER be named as a lake. A reservoir should NEVER be sold as lake-front property.
I feel for the property owners on both sides of that dam.
One foot/acre of water is 365,000 gallons. I have no idea what the average depth was. But if it was only four feet, then it held almost 3 billion gallons of water (at 2,000 acres)
Seen them all,and this is the best one on You Tube.
Lol, the area looks so weird now. All these expensive homes. This place must have been beautiful before this disaster. But hey, there is a bright side to this. People have much more land to use.
Wait till the lakebed dries out and the dust starts.
Wonder what different species of fauna and flora will pop up with the new landscape, these drones are brilliant, I want one.
I used a Mavic 2 Pro... You can find them at Best Buy or Amazon :) Thanks for watching!
It blows my mind how that lake only had one deep Chanel! It’s so sad to see what once was a beautiful body of water turned to emptiness, my heart goes out to the families that went through this devastating event.
The "Channel" is the Tittabawassee River. The dam was built in 1924 to create the artificial lake.
Matthew Eurich oh so it’s a man made lake, That make sense. 👍🏼
What did you think would happen with a 100 year old Earthen Dam? Did you think it would last forever ?
Concrete wouldn’t have given away like that. Next time if there is a next time build it right. CONCRETE
They had the best opportunity to build a new dam right behind the old one - out of concrete - but like the Japanese choosing nuclear power over geothermal we see time and time again even intelligent people make dumb decisions. Lol
Short Cutts cost all innocent people.🚰best let the water flow natural
Does anyone know if the drop off in front of the properties (looks about 30 feet out) was done on purpose when creating the lake or did it happen naturally over time?
It looks, by the placement on an outside bend, that it was a product of the sediment scoured away during the failure. It was probably a fairly steady gradient before the release.
The river has spoken.
It's reclaimed its self only to flow free .
There is another TH-cam channel that shows how the boats that had been docked were pulled like a bath toy when it drained. That just shows how fast it drained. Very scary
metal detector, springs to mind.
Every fisherman looking at that water left, thinking it’s a gold mine
Good job on the video.
Wow, hope the lord is making things as easy as possible for everyone there. And those that may have lost a loved one.
this sort of thing will always happen when humans try to stop the flow of rivers with dams. eventually they burst their banks. Amazing to see all the trees stood where they were before the river was damed.
And all this could have been avoided.....someone knew this might happen. So very sad.... The folks who wanted the water at summer level took a chance and OMG did everyone pay! Looking at the map of where the 7+ inches of rain fell, one might think the "rain gods" targeted this exact area. My heart goes out to all affected by this terrible catastrophe!
So what do these people do? They bought a lake front house, and now no lake. I don't know what I would do.
Mosquitoes are going to love this 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟
Wow, that's strange... there are like old trees sticking up, and like some wooden poles sticking up in the deepest part of the bottom of the dry lake... like 40 feet down..
And so the circle of life continues, Mother Nature Giveth, and Mother Nature Taketh
I do have 1 question brother. How in the world did you get almost 118,000 views and your video has been up since 05/27/2020? That’s insane, but i am very proud of you Sir. EXCELLENT JOB MY DRONE BROTHER. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT SIR.
Hot topic around here but I hear ya... Be cool man!!
All of that high dollar lake front property just dropped 75% in value. Now it is mud flats front property, and what little I have heard is the owners of the dam are not going to rebuild it. Now what? Has anyone heard any different? If so, please comment.
i guess go trade your pontoon boats in on some sandrails🤷🏻♂️
Pontoon boats are detestable anyway, they are the barcaloungers of watercraft.
looks like homeowner now have my property :-))
Goodbye lake. May as well build a gulf course or two. There's plenty of sand traps already.
The media isn't even talking about this one week later. Please do updates on progress of rebuilding Wixom Lake and the area. Thank you for this video.
They moved on to bigger and better things like rioting in the streets.
will never get rebuilt
Many questions. Mine is; what is the silt-pollution fine going to be on that one?
