Duluth just got wrecked
Here in Duluth, we just had a 100-year flood event. Pretty crazy stuff, we got 9 inches of rain in 24 hours. The rivers are very high and many of the streets are washed out since the city is built on a hill. Just thought I'd share some of the photos and videos with you guys.

embed works fine for me...
the sizing was huge...
Your resolution is tiny.
This is crazy. I'm from the cities and I've always loved Duluth. Bummer everything is getting wrecked up there. Props for being ballsy and going on that bridge, haha that was nuts.
Holy shit those photos look like they're from the road or the day after tomorrow or something. Crazy shit
poor seal
The seal was brought back safely. Along with a polar bear that got out.
Now I can't go up to the cabin this weekend...
polar bear would be scary as fuck.
A POLAR BEAR GOT OUT!?!? now thats awesome.

I scrolled the pictures and was in awe. Then I arrived at the seal and laughed my ass off. It's looking at the camera like "fuck, I'm caught!" At least one eye anyway...
same thing happened where i live (3 hours away). we dont have a zoo but our sewage system got backed up and flooded peoples' basement. hope your house is ok! i heard about the seal and polar bear and saw the parking lot of miller hill mall. its crazy cause i was just there 2 weeks ago.
Got out of it's enclosure, it didn't leave the zoo.
holy fuck.
hahah oh no! It looks so out of place and scared :(
Well at least it happened now... and not during Grandma's...
I'm going up to Duluth then the BWCA next week...
I know a bunch of people from the area, I hope their homes and whatnot are okay

I would've had my seal club at the ready! Nothing like some winter nostalgia in the dead of June.
Canadians: the only natural predator of seals
hhahaha the seal pic made me laugh
sorry about the tragedy though, hope everyone is ok

No injuries or deaths have been reported, just a lot of property damage. I work for the city, and I was out doing FEMA damage inspections today, and the roads are pretty fucked up.
Thompson bridge washed out today:
along with the historic Swinging Bridge in nearby Jay Cooke State Park:

Wow, only 39 posts and you've managed to be sigged already.
hahahaha def sig'd
That's tragic dude, hope you and your family are safe.
So sorry man, reminds me of when Wilmington VT got hit after that hurricane. +vibes
That pic with the corolla that got wedged into that pit in the road is nuts.
Tragic stuff though.. I've never been to Duluth but I have heard it's a nice area.

Vibes from down south we got shat upon in the south metro but no were near as bad as you guys
I'm from the cities, vibes. I'm in Michigan so I didn't actually see any of this rain in MN.
There's a large storm sewer there. It got overwhelmed and simply washed the road away.
In other news, PETA wants animal cruelty charges against the zoo because the animals drowned.

Glad I live in Rochester, we didn't get hit hard with anything, but we did get a lot of rain, and for some reason my entire neighborhood and some stores close by were completely out of power for a few hours. The weather has been so bipolar lately.
Duluth got fucked over. If I was in back in MN I'd come help man . That looks bad. Hope people were okay.
Great coverage on those photos. Good luck up there. Looks hit!!
Vibes man, sad to see that happen. I love vacationing up there, the place is like a mini San-Fran.
Also know where your coming from, luckily my city was prepared fast enough to deal with the floods from last years spring, minot, not so much. Here's a compilation of some videos and pics of what we were stuck with for a few months last year, in the pictures, it will be really hard to tell where the river usually flows:
Skip to 0:57 to see the flood.
