    Virginia dam could flood rain-soaked city in matter of minutes, officials warn

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/08/03...cials-say.html

    Dam could collapse and flood city with 17 feet of water.

    Massive evacuations have been ordered in a Virginia city after a deluge of rain overnight sparked fears that a nearby dam could overflow and spread upwards of 17 inches of water in just seven minutes.

    Authorities have evacuated parts of Lynchburg, Va., in preparation of what county officials reported as the “imminent failure” of the College Lake Dam. They are still looking for signs of structural failure early Friday as water spilling over the dam, threatening about 124 houses in the city of 80,000 people.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!
