Trump axes key infrastructure funding while more than 18,000 Ohio properties face flood risk as ageing dam buckles
More than 18,000 properties that sit downstream of a series of a century-old Ohio dam are at risk of flooding over the next three decades, according to climate data, as the Trump administration continues to roll back investments that would aid in keeping the waters at bay.
In a part of the US that’s largely flat, the view from above the Huffman dam in south-west Ohio is rare.
From the bike trail atop the dam, the shimmering lights of downtown Dayton appear to the south. Cargo planes from a nearby air force base circle overhead and water from the 66-mile-long Mad River gushes underfoot.
But the dam serves a far more pressing purpose: holding back up to 54bn gallons of water – enough to fill 82,000 Olympic-size swimming pools – during flooding events.
If this damn breaks, it would flood montgomery county which is down stream, and more specifically Dayton, oh.
This petty scheudenfraude you’re feeling is both misinformed and frankly the behaviour of a shitty person. The people most harmed by Trump will always be children who cant vote.
If we aren’t cheering for children on welfare being punished for thier parents being poor, we shouldnt cheer for children of republicans being punished because thier parents are stupid.
Where in my post did I say I was cheering for anyone to get hurt? Was there a /s at the end of my post. You are putting those words in my mouth.
