A home in Minnesota fell off a cliff into the Blue Earth River on Tuesday night, captured in dramatic video footage.
The house, occupied by a local family for over 50 years, drew a crowd of onlookers as it plunged into the river amid concerns about the nearby Rapidan Dam’s stability due to ongoing erosion and severe flooding in southern Minnesota.
The dam failed on June 24, 2024, due to intense flooding, compromising the structural integrity of the dam but also resulted in significant infrastructure damage.
Officials are closely monitoring the dam’s condition, urging residents along the river to remain vigilant but not currently planning evacuations.
