2010 Lake Delhi Flood (video 2)

This is one of several videos shot from a property just to the north of the Lake Delhi Dam shortly after the south bank gave way. These are homes on the back side of the dam that got washed away by the water flowing through the 300ft wide hole.

Don't worry, your tax money has been earmarked to support crack whores and welfare cheats. Like you pay taxes anyway.

[bsmahoney]

@mahammadabba don't be a dick about it. countless people lost there only home along with everything they had. now there living in motels wondering what comes next.

[79abg]

why should our tax dollors pay to fix the dam it is not a public lake.

[bsmahoney]

@79abg you do realize the dam is still intact right? the road/bank on the south end is what gave out.

[numnums32]

@79abg tax dollars aint payin for shit man i live 10 miles from here and that dam is owned by the people who lived in cabins on that lake.

FYI. you guys look like dumbasses. the LAKE IS PUBLIC. hence why on july fourth every single land owner was sitting on their docks watching all the damn tourists drive like idiots. the dam was owned by the ldra. but the dam did not break. the road gave way by the dam causing the river to breach. we are coming back, whether you like it or not. the government is already helping us and has already given us money. and we have already raised 2 mill on our own. so suck it up. go lake delhi!

That brown/tan cabin that is floating down the river is mine. Kind of surreal to watch this video. Thanks to the videographer.
