Minnesota flooding: Rapidan Dam still holding, state park closures
Authorities in Blue Earth County continue to monitor the imperiled Rapidan Dam on Tuesday after the rain-swollen Blue Earth River carved a new channel around the structure.www.mprnews.org
The Mayor of Mankato was on the radio yesterday, and he said if the dam burst they were "prepared for it", whatever that means. Looking at a map it appears there's some distance between the dam and town, which would gain them some time, but still....
