The Rapidan Dam near Mankato, Minnesota, risked “imminent failure” after flooding rain swelled the Blue Earth River, officials warned on Monday, June 24.
Footage captured by Brandon Knudsvig from a helicopter shows the dam, as water flows around it. Knudsvig said there was also “debris jammed at the top.”
“Praying this dam holds and everyone is safe,” he wrote on Facebook.
The Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Office said on June 24 there had been “a partial failure on the west abutment”. However, the dam was “still intact,” they said, and there were “no current plans for a mass evacuation.”
Gov Tim Walz said emergency management officials were “acting quickly to ensure the safety of Minnesotans as the situation develops.”

MSNBC stars Rachel Maddow, Chris Jansing and Katy Tur joined a tense 10 a.m. meeting at 30 Rock in Midtown led by NBCUniversal chairman Mark Lazarus, who will lead the new company, sources told The Post.
Staffers fearing looming layoffs peppered him with questions about if the network will need to change its name, logos and headquarters after reports surfaced that the new entity could be cut off from the reporting muscle of NBC News, sources said.

,1,Jurors in the Karen Read trial said that they can’t come to an agreement over whether the ex college professor murdered her cop boyfriend.
The jurors – six men and six women – wrote a note Monday morning on their fifth day of deliberations telling a judge they haven’t been able to reach a unanimous verdict.
The jurors first told the judge on Friday morning that they couldn’t agree.
At the time, Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Beverly Cannone found the panelists hadn’t been at it long enough to declare a mistrial and instructed them to return to deliberations.

,1,Iran is threatening an “obliterating war” if Israel launches an all-out conflict against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The thunderous warning came after the Israel Defense Forces hit several Hezbollah targets Friday in retaliation to the Iran-backed terror group’s barrage of rockets launched on northern Israel earlier in the day.
“Should [Israel] embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue,” the Iranian UN mission said in a post on X late Friday.

,1,Armored vehicles rammed the doors of Bolivia’s government palace Wednesday in an apparent coup attempt against President Luis Arce, but he vowed to stand firm and named a new army commander who ordered troops to stand down.
The soldiers later pulled back as supporters of Arce waved Bolivian flags and cheered in a central square.
In a video of Arce surrounded by ministers in the palace, the Bolivian leader said: “Here we are, firm in Casa Grande, to confront any coup attempt. We need the Bolivian people to organize.”
Arce confronted the general commander of the army — Juan José Zúñiga, who appeared to be leading the rebellion — in the palace hallway, as shown on video on Bolivian television. “I am your captain, and I order you to withdraw your soldiers, and I will not allow this insubordination,” Arce said.

,1,Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) emerged victorious in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District primary Tuesday after she quit her 3rd District re-election race in favor of seeking office in the more conservative-friendly district.
The two-term congresswoman defeated five GOP rivals in the 4th District primary and held 43.8% of the vote when the Associated Press called the contest in her favor.
Boebert, 37, is expected to prevail in the 4th District general election in November as well. Voters in the Centennial State’s 4th District supported former President Donald Trump by a 16-point margin in 2020.
