Seems that they make make up the rules as they go in this town.

happy 4th

0:41 "Debrees"? I see.

I pray for that family that lost their home and store. The wirst part is losing their memories.. 😢thank you Governor for showing respect and going to see this.

Excellent Review

They tore it down….. hell I would have waited till it fell in and let the insurance cover it….. I don’t know what happens when your land and home is washed away…. I guess it’s all covered under the policy. 🤔

I wish they could of saved the store! My heart goes out to the family and community ❤

So sad to see these people hurt like this ! Bu5 why did they remove the store ?

WHY DID THEY DO THAT? IT WASNT IN ANY WAY IN DANGER AS YOU CAN SEE IT WASNT CLOSE TO THE WATER. WHAT A SHAME THAT THE LOST THEIR HOME AND THEN THEY TAKE THE STORE TOO. NOT COOL FOR THE FAMILY, I HOPE THEY REBUILD SOMEWHERE SAFE. GID BLESS THIS FAMILY.

So, why the **** did they tear it down? The erosion wasn't close enough to be a danger yet.

THIS WAS A MAN MADE DISASTER. I'm no arm chair person. RWJ

Are the owners going to reopen new business elsewhere?

Damn that store 🙄

I love the phrase...."the experts"......how foolish

Admirable how well they are handling it.

Not to worry, Joe Biden will assist by sending another 80 billion dollars to Ukraine.

So sad. 😢

Looks like the People of Blue Earth County need to get them some new workers that know what the hell they are doing cuz these sure don't. They could have avoided all these by getting someone to remove the log jam in the first place... Its not like this was flooded before .

let's see you all try to blame BLM for this one!

I’ll be dammed

Let me guess, in less than 5 years, "welcome to our new ritzy housing community on this historic river."

Most of the debris was therefore the water rose to critical and had gates blocked.

The dam failed. If it’s the state,fed, or army corp of engineers that failed to prevent it they owe this family land, a new home & a new store. 💔

The lesser of two evils here; probably condemned the business which would contaminate the river if it fell in as well... change.

That could of put sheet pileing in there and saved the store and banks

oh snap..... that really sucks.

Oh they took it down. I hope they get the that mess away from the river in case of more land slides I would think there is enough stuff in the water already.

What Bible do you read.....God creates the waster to destroy......

Its sad they lost their home & store...So let me guess now they going to charge them for demolished their store

They should have had Post 10 on speed dial.

makes me wonder if the foundation of the building was loosing it's integrity as the ground became less stable. Better to get all the important memories and equipment out of the store and tear it down to take the stress off the soaked ground than loose it and all the memories like they lost the house,

Waffle House or a 7-Eleven?

I think it is fascinating to see the layers of the earth and the sheer power of nature to be able to cut right thru what appears to be rock in some layers.

That made no sense to me. How is demolishing it and having a pile of debris that could go at any minute down the river, along with a very heavy large metal back hoe any better than leaving the store there. Like the debris from that store building would amount to anything compared to the massive amount of rock and dirt from the possible further eroding bank.

"Still gonna need those property taxes this year" - Gov.Walz

Dam shame.

ALL this democrat government is worried about is letting more illegals into our country and spending all our tax dollars for votes

It's so sad to see this family has lost everything they had worked for for so many years. I pray they will be able to rebuild somewhere there is no chance of being washed away and it will once again be a home place they can have for years to come. May God bless you all🙏🏼🙂

should have breached dam restore natural path

The dam is basically non-functioning except to drive the river against the embankment

Government dammed the Rapidan dan dam. We have the makings of another folk song.

America know the world is watching America Tofu Dam, so they remove the house first to save face. America now becomes a laughing stock. 😂😂😂😂

This story has a Russian TV feeling thanks to Sophia's emotionless covergae.😳

I don't see why they couldn't save the store! Seems the river has stabilized into a channel now and the erosion has moved more downstream!

Minisoda.

Their buildings are gone, the land they stood on has largely been swept down stream. But where does land ownership end at? Is land ownership only on the surface that the buildings stood on, or do you own the square footage, all the way down to the center of the earth? Does their land ownership remain in force even though the river now runs over the top of it? Hopefully the County won’t keep taxing them the same amount each year now that they have lost all their buildings?

Ive never shot myself in the dick but I suppose this is the same thing.

😂😂😂😂

the recent supreme court ruling is going to change how states make laws that are national issues and emissions are one of them just like all the stupid california gun laws

Why did they demolish it? Why couldn't you simply move it to a safe spot and at least still have something of the iconic pie shop to hold on to? 😢
