Directly Hit

Here's an aerial shot of the levee breach. That's the farm right there, and the water currents are intense. The machine shop doesn't even appear to be there producing a wake. Formerly, it was just south of the west (left) silo. This is unreal.





Update

There is a video of the "South Indian Grave Levee" here. I was trying to figure out the velocity of the water at the surface to determine how much force due to dynamic pressure of the water the barn was withstanding. I'm estimating about 3 m/s.

Apparently yesterday morning, the barn collapsed and the debris washed away. It's like turning a firehose onto a model railroad. The only structure remaining is the house my mom grew up in, cleverly located on the top of a small man-made hill in the cluster of trees north of the tall silo.

Unfortunately, the cleanup effort will involve removing hundreds of tons of sand so the soil next to the levee breach can be farmed again.
