Why, what's that going to do? Is god going to restore their homes and business's? He/She has never done that before, ever in the history of mankind. Prayer is utterly useless and is used by those who mostly sit on their arses and do nothing. It's a cop out. How about you go and see if you can help in anyway and if not find out if there is a fundraiser that you can give some money to. This is far more useful than any prayer will ever be. If god had any intention of doing something he/she would have done this before the dams burst. After all god is supposed to be all powerful yet the god you believe in sat on its arse and did what it always does, nothing, absolutely nothing.
Lord Jesus.. I pray in the midst of all of this..🙏and that People draw closer and closer to YOU,🙏🙏🙏.. Suffering produces Character the True Character of God if we don't stiffen our necks, He transforms people into something beautiful having allowed themselves to be tested and tried in the fire coming out shining like a shinning jewel. Suffering has changed so many for the better when when you don't fight it .. It's necessary and so much more needed that people understand. It brings about humility and compassion that you can't obtain any other way accept through suffering.
@@pamblanton3580 Good for you, I'm sure that has resulted in a fantastic response from your god. He has reversed the flooding and is returning everything back to before the dams broke. What he hasn't, then has he cleaned up the mess, restored all the lost houses and business's, no not that either, well has he given everyone enough money to buy a new house and business, no not even that. Are you telling me that your prayers have gone unanswered again just like every other prayer. I am surprised to say the least. Have you by any chance gone to see what you could do? Maybe some cleaning up or give some money. No, just a useless prayer that makes you feel better, but does absolutely nothing for the victims. Well done, you must be so proud.
The indigenous Native "Americans" must be turning over in their graves. Google: What does "Michigan" mean? The name Michigan is based on a native American (Chippewa) word; "meicigama" (meaning "great water," a word referring to Lake Superior). Thirty-two counties in Michigan also have names drawn from native American languages (as do many other state names). The county took its name from the river running through it that empties into Lake Michigan. The word comes from the Ojibwa/Chippewa word "mashkig" meaning "swamp" or "marsh." ... This was derived from then name of a Chippewa chief who signed the Saginaw Treaty of 1819 or from a Native American word meaning "much water."
@ well it held for over 100yrs and would be fine if the owner of the dam or the state inspectors would of did their jobs and enforced it to be updated. That's pretty stupid of you to say the people are stupid to build or buy there. Mother nature can win no matter where you live in one way or another!!! Any lake can flood, any house can get hit by a tornado, lightning etc.. you sound like a real dumbass!! These people lost everything they own and all you got to say is how stupid they are. 🖕

I promised myself I would never live near water, not even a pond because of a flood my parent's house suffered when I was about 12 years of age. I feel extremely bad that living by water is so romanticised when it is actually very dangerous, expensive, full of parasites, and rather unsanitary. I hope those involved in the Michigan floods move far from water and never have to go through this again.
Now there is a perfect example of "The New Normal" Those buildings are doomed. And you will not see this repaired for many years. Every time a big rain comes this will be repeated
i wonder how it would feel like if flood barely missed their home by few feet away. your neighbor's home is half sink while yours is ok. would you feel incredibly lucky? :(
My home town. Praying for all the people. I live in a different State though. Midland is/was full of beautiful Churches in All different types of architecture...Sad
That's what they had for a dam?? Gotta be kidding - that was an earth berm. You don't need to a rocket scientist to figure out what high water+pressure+velocity was going to do.
I live in California i have no cable ? What caused this torrential rain or very warm temperatures and all the snow melted too fast. This horrible I hope there's no loss of life. Prayers for the people in these area's🙏 Be 💪 strong
Nope not climate change just a steady rainfall like Michigan usually gets and a broken dam that was privately owned and not maintained properly do to cost (32 million) to properly fix the dam is what caused this to happen.
!!! Nobody is bothering to find out and state how far out the flooding is going outward apart from this one town. We have no idea how wide spread it really is. People are citing Midland flooding, but not stating how many other towns have been checked for flooding also. And we need to know if its only Midland county or going into the other counties.
I don't feel sorry for Michigan in the slightest! The people voted in the demonrats and they enforced a quarantine, which meant there was no one to take care of the problem before it started! All in the name of the left's fear mongering and their pandemic hoax!!!
@Daniel Coronado Punishing for what?!!! Not wanting to put up with the democrat's absolute bullshit anymore?!!! This pandemic is a fucking hoax! The masks do nothing, the ventilators kill way more people than they save, and to top it all off, the virus is very similar to the flu, which means this whole mess is basically just an additional flu season. We got the kungflu where I live but no one's dropped yet! They just get over it. We never even had an enforced quarantine. Face it, the people of Michigan are gullible sheep!
i saw that dam brake on video, and it looked like a weak dam! That grassy hill gave away so easily. Is this how they make super strong dams? To just wait for a disaster to happen? This could easily been prevented by fixing it a long time ago.

Sure hope Dow kept their containment/chemical ponds from flooding. As bad as the industrial states are for toxic pollution, you could not pay me to live in the lower peninsula.
If I lived down steam of that first dam system that failed, you know the own that failed 2 years ago and was never repaired. I would never rest until i knew who every single person was that had anything to do with that dam not either being repaired or that lake level lowered significantly because it wasn't going to be repaired. I have a feeling that a lot of people that owned homes on that lake didn't want that lake level to be lowered and being that is was a privately owned dam they couldn't pull the normal strings and force the tax payers to fix it. I don't know enough about that sort of thing to place blame on any one because watersheds are controlled by different entities than the normal political channels. I do know one thing either the corporation that owned the dam or whom ever caused it to remain in operation needs to be held seriously accountable. Including criminal charges. That's a crap load of financial disaster and even for people who wouldn't have been considered in a flood plain so why should they have flood insurance. a lot of people could have died here. thank God it isn't winter. Could you imagine in the middle of a cold Michigan winter?
Dam owner failing to maintain dam despite being called out by federal regulators, got into a feud with state government, and now, this. Now the dam owner and state government are in a blame game.

1: Fix the dams. 2: Into Lake Michigan. All that water was already there before the country was colonized anyway. The dams just redirect it. It's actually not that big of a deal. Just some water damage and inconvenience.
Looks like the scene from Evan Almighty. ‘What flood damage’. Maybe the Governors have been cutting back on dam maintenance over the years which led to this crisis. Maybe somebody needs to investigate. That would be a prophetic movie.

@@mikebetts2046 OK> But what about the shaking? Drones are nowso advanced there is little need for a copter for photography.

Mayonnaise bottles floating everywhere.

Should have been shot with a drone....no noise!!
Drones make noise also. All that was needed was to mute the sound.
Besides, a drone could not have covered that much territory as fast as a helicopter.
@@mikebetts2046 OK> But what about the shaking? Drones are nowso advanced there is little need for a copter for photography. The race drones fly as fast as a copter and have the 'return home ' feature which works if lost or low battery. If you're only using a copter for cinema then its over. Look at the 'movie about the band Queen and the opening scene. All shot with a drone and def's not possible with a copter. There are guys that have sent their drones to 5,000 feet just for something to do. If you ambitions covering ground then just let the drone do its thang and edit later.
damn ...does it matter ..????
@@clarkclarke NOT if you have unlimited funding and don't care about video or audio quality!! NO.
@@bicanoo_magic3452 Well fine; each device has it's particular advantage. But in this case; the noise was just not muted. Plenty of drone videos out there with the whirring-sound clearly audible. And this helicopter video should have been on mute as well.

God isn't playing with mans sins
How are you people liking your new normal.... I'm so sorry about what's happening to all of you...so now what...I think the first thing to do when you all can.. come together and go to each city county and state house and demand your so called public servants get the hell out... we the people have the power and right to do so under the constitution... starting over is the best thing we all can do but let's don't make the same mistakes pre coronavirus
Where is Donald Trump ?
Golfing
Jim Kerney isn’t it a private dam? Do what? Do you often approve of government intervention in private enterprises. Are you a secret lefty?
It's hard to have the name trump and action in the same sentence
Maybe the lack of might work.blue state help!
On purpose
Make America Great Again! Now don’t expect a government handout. Get back to work! If you don’t want to work for what you want then go back to where you or your grandparents came from.
Then there would only be Native people left...
Brandon Booker I said who ever don’t want to work. They’re plenty of people who work for theirs. I’m referring to this who want to sit back and ask for a bailout. It doesn’t matter the color of your skin. If you aren’t for America take your azz back to where ever your family came from.
@Jim Kerney yes Israel
@Jim Kerney bright spark...
@@AllySmiles201 who mentioned colour of your skin?..
I hope they are smart enough to build closer to the water next time
Chinese flooding
