Smallwood Lake Dam Overflows After Edenville Dam Failure
Floodwater unleashed by two dam failures in Midland County, Michigan, overflowed the nearby Smallwood lake dam.
Drone footage shows brown water rushing through the Smallwood dam as a bulldozer pushes rocks into the water to stem the flow.
Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Midland County and encouraged residents to evacuate or relocate to local shelters.

well to be fair there are some much older dams than 100 years, but maintenance is one thing that is required. You would think they would have funding for that at least. But then again stuff sometimes just happens, not necessarily because of neglegt.

@@Lilliz91 there is more than enough funding, but the US government spends it all on bombing the shit out of the Middle East. Biden just increased the military Budget even more than Trump did. If the US cut military spending by 1/3, it would still be spending more than the next 8 highest spending countries combined, which are almost all allies of the US. Then the gov would be able to fund infrastructure upgrades across the country. Most major infrastructure in the US was built back in the 1950’s, and US politicians have been to busy catering to hedge fund managers and multinational corporations since then. If they invested in a major infrastructure overhaul they could spur the economy, create jobs, and overall increase quality of life across the whole country. Instead they are cutting taxes for the rich, and lying to average voters about giving any kind of stimulus during COVID

in the early footage from the drone. we see that emergency spill way is doing what it was designed to do. The "secant" wall that separates the main dam structure from the emergency spillway is holding the water away and introducing it down stream a bit. We do see some "head cutting" occurring as the deeper portion of erosion creeps closer and closer to the dam wall. It looks like this structure withstood being over topped and the emergency spillway worked as designed.

@@schooldb3556 not necessarily, underneath the turbine room lies tunnels, one for each turbine. They're designed to be a narrow space so the water during normal conditions pressurized and spins the turbines with great force, producing optimal efficiency for generating electricity. Chances are the pressure built up so much that a stress fracture in the concrete opened up to allow the water to escape. Whether the fracture was intentionally placed there or not is up for debate, typically this is why dams have floodgates. These are supposed to open to relieve the pressure behind the dam when the water crests during flood season. Clearly they didn't do their job this time, but from what I understand, these dams along this stretch of the river were old and in bad need of maintenance anyways, so chances are their failure was destined to happen

The channel I was watching reported on Smallwood within minutes of it failing, as obvious with the dump truck of rocks and bulldozer. The next day on the 20th the media was only reporting 2 dam failures. THIS video is from the 19th because that is when I watched it. Saw it first on a FB link someone sent in. Watch Inventor Lee Wheelbarger channel and you will see this video clip, from the 19th. This is not AFTER edenville, but BEFORE and a contributing factor in the other two dam failures.
