The dam held up so well it's no longer relevant.

[@GinaKayLandis]

It wasn't an outbuilding, it was a home to a father and his son.

[@gamertimefriend1286]

The first one was the outbuilding for the energy company. The second one was correctly stated as the home. Actually watch the video for once

[@bkb0859]

Yep the damn held up, the flooding just went around it....

[@SigFigNewton]

Escaped by digging.
Yawn.
Someone needs to write a more original script.

[@BobDobbs681]

Not quite getting the connection between the dam and holiday travel, but have a happy and safe 4th!

[@SigFigNewton]

Nothing can stop our country. We arise and flow on.

looks like it's a river speed bump now

[@Tardenglobe2346]

You call that holding up? 😆

[@dannmarceau]

Standing in the river?

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Just as ridiculous as the news people standing out in a hurricane. One of these days we will see some debris take off a head right on camera.

[@alexglanz7406]

Losing a home is just so tragic. It's not just a building, but a lifetime. Let's hope these people can keep themselves safe and positive.

[@kimberly8695]

I hope their insurance companies will pay out.

[@alexglanz7406]

@@kimberly8695 Sadly, catastrophic flood insurance is expensive and hard to get. FEMA is so slow. Let's hope the community and state steps up

[@stratcat3216]

Hold Up??? lol. .it's a total fail

[@28704joe]

The dam held up, the river flowed around it.

[@galewinds7696]

​@28704joe the dam is holding, because there isn't any pressure on it, got it?

[@28704joe]

@@galewinds7696 I could not agree more, there is no pressure on it.

[@maopticallabtech]

Who owns the dam should replace the house that was lost.

[@toolwithintention]

Hahaha

[@Chainsnroses]

At this point the dam doesn't even matter its not doing anything to stop the water anymore.

[@MrWilderNapalm]

The Dam said I can hold this river back
River said, hold my beer...........................................

[@galewinds7696]

......and the dam said "I can hold your beer, no sure about the water

[@SigFigNewton]

The important question is how to haikuify this timeless romantic tragedy
Tho Dirt married Dam,
Dirt grew unsettled and she
ran away with Stream

[@CaptainRon1913]

Wonder when we'll see some youtuber kayaker take on those rapids

[@galewinds7696]

This weekend

[@eligebrown8998]

If you call that holding up, hate to see what collapsing looks like.

[@sues3218]

The dam has FAILED, the river is making itself another path. That dam is holding nothing back right now, thus it has FAILED, it is NOT "holding up". People are delusional if they think it is.
