House slides into Blue Earth River after dam breach
A house owned by the Barnes family teetered on an eroding riverbank near a Minnesota dam and collapsed into the flood swollen Blue Earth River near Mankato after the dam’s west abutment failed. The family evacuated beforehand and officials warn of further riverbank instability and bridge risks amid widespread Midwest flooding and storm damage across several states.
