So are there active plans to prevent these floods? Just looking at a map, this was bound to happen to a town like Spencer that has a river running through the center of town. I get why towns popped up along rivers but nowadays you basically need to plan for flooding if that is your topography
Last time Spencer flooded similar to this was in the 50s. Lots of Spencer along the river had been turned into green space. Main Street is actually a pretty fair bit higher than the rivet. But yeah I'm guessing their flood plain just got expanded.

KEYC has a live shot from the dam. It looks like an adjacent house has started to be undercut.

Back yard is still very squishy (twin cities) from all the rain last week. It is still way to wet to mow. I may have to buy some sheep pretty soon

Husband about to go finish mowing what got cut off by rain Friday. Hopefully not too muddy where we had 2.5 ft of water Saturday.
