Description

As of 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, a house was still teetering on the edge of the newly-cut channel of the Blue Earth River by the Rapidan Dam. Flooding clogged the dam’s spillways with debris, and the river pushed around the dam and burst through the eroding ground to the river's lower stretches Monday. And Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park has closed tours to the mine due to flooding. Last week, the mine was hit with nearly 8 inches of water in less than 24 hours.This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi.
