A Minnesota dam is on the brink of collapse after suffering damage from floodwaters. And more rain is on the way.
Another round of rain is threatening the Midwest on Tuesday as people across the region scramble to clean up from the weekend's devastating floods.
In Minnesota, rising water washed out a portion of the Rapidan Dam about 50 miles southwest of Minneapolis. The damage puts the dam in danger of failure. On Monday, crews worked to sandbag essential infrastructure and build a temporary levee to protect communities."It'll happen. We don't know when, but it's inevitable that the house is going to go," said Jenny Barnes who lives near the dam.
