Severe flooding in the US state of Michigan breached two dams, forcing about 10,000 people to evacuate.
The rising floodwaters swallowed entire towns and made bridges collapse, leading some officials to describe the situation as a one in 500-year event.
Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reports from Chicago, US.

Don’t make fun of others… because U don’t know your future
Thomas Ranjit ohh really like Americans never make fun of suffering muslim from the war they propagate.
MADE IN CHINA?
You’re DAM right. LOL
Definitely made in America.
Where is NOAH when you needed him most..😂😂😂
In his boat, of course.
who need noah when they have christopher columbus xD
Dear Mr President, I know both myself and my party publicly despise you… and I know it was my Liberal politics that marched my state into financial ruin… But I encourage you to ignore all that corruption and give us the free money we desperately NEED. Sincerely, Democrats.
As if donald trump will do
And this country declined Paris climate change bill, irony isn’t it😂😂😂
Of course they did. Transferring money to people who are too lazy to work doesn’t really help anyone does it ?
@MO JOE – how do you think that is relevant to the Paris Climate Accord?
@Ian Dalziel thanks again. But I have a busy day ahead of me bye.
MO JOE lol idiot
Let’s repent to our Lord so we could have some relief.
The end of US dominance has begun
@Tiashe Varuhaito I prefer to be not under a dictatorship thank you very much.
TByRaqm 2Mz how long do you think it will take, I mean China will takeover the global supremacy?
@TByRaqm 2Mz so us lending with higher interest is fine is that what you meant? IMF did the same thing but worse, the different thing happened is they create job there, meanwhile US create suffering by bombing others they enjoy that
TByRaqm 2Mz i agree and that is scary .
*US CHERNOBYL MOMENT HAS ARRIVED*
want to be youtube friends? gYQ9
Highly likely the flood was caused by coronavirus
No, another pernicious and insidious ‘virus’ – hubris, complacency and procrastination…
I hope same happen in Saudi then only terrorism will stop in whole world
What about ganduism I mean Hinduism cult who scammed people pretending as IRS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Ganduhindu BhadwaanGayRaam what abt pisslam, tere toh mohamMAD bhi mad hai madarchod hai

This is condition of United nations
THE END IS NEAR
😅😅😅😅😅
Whoopss – the End is Rear! surely?
They’ve been saying that for 1500 years already. Give it a rest.
I hope it is cause this world sucks.
It almost seems like the universe is getting revenge on Gretchen and FORCING people from their homes. I wonder if Gretchen will FINE them for leaving their homes!
This is what happens when you screw around with nature
You’re DAM right. LOL 😂😂😂
and don’t keep up with your infrastructure ‘housework’…
The cup of sin is full.
Americas Judgement is here !!! With Gods permission of course.
The Watchman
God doesn’t exist you buffoon lmao
@nettoyage de la maison That’s your opinion. Im still sticking to mine. Becareful , hes a God of Mercy and JUDGEMENT. Your words will judge you.
@The Watchman In the Bible YHVH has 2,476,633 kills, NOT including the flood or Sodom and Gomorrah. Satan has 10…..first 2 pages of the Book of Job. I am a Hebrew reading Bible Scholar and an ordained Minister. The 4th word of Genesis in Hebrew is ELOHIM and correctly translates to LOFTY ONES-PLURAL-2536 Times in the O.T…………THAT is what the Bible says. Since Jews own Google you can NOT TRUST their Translator or search results….taken me 20 years almost of daily hours long study
really…… come on guys ..
Nature’s punishment
Al jazera can show michigan flood but not Amphan cyclone which destroyed more than 5000 houses and multiple cities
sucks for them
I don’t know where you live but your turn will be coming.
@LadyofCleves65 What’s your problem?
USA 🇺🇸 has become a joke

The Day of Judgement is most definitely near – we are currently ‘in’ the age of the Dajjal (anti christ) now — once he shows himself (openly) – than its on …
@THE UNITED ISLAMIC EMPIRE – brother, with a name like yours, you need to conduct yourself better .
@nettoyage de la maison you are a joke to me
@Nobody . why so?
F U LOSER.
Mother Nature giving us a warning , plus us doesn’t care about it’s infrastructure.
Tax cuts to the rich and propped up military industrial Inc. profit wars
USA is crumbling. Everyone for himself has its good points but for building a modern and resilient nation to compete its seems like the Chinese model is winning. Where are the armchair economists to shed some light from their comfortable armchairs! So far all their navel gazing and predictions look well off the target!
Judgement is very close fellow American… You voted this gov….

I am neither a dem or a rep, but what has only this government have to do with the dam failing . Poor infrastructure , whether it be roads , bridges , airports , subways , veteran hospitals etc , has been a worry for many many years now , and governments have come and gone , but nothing has been done . All governments have spent billions on creating wars , going to space etc , but scant regard and funding towards infrastructure, health , education , research . The fault has not been on one government only
@Nobody . He was taught by Hebrews.
realtalkboys777 harris –
I didn’t know the blind can type
2 century old dam???
Good job Democrats
Stop pollution environment in the world now.
American goverment should help own people instead of beeing “World Police” and “Democracy distributor”
Absolutely correct
So called protectors of the world.
They could start by building democracy here, or at least dams that don’t break.
@Apuat yes 😁
War crimes haunting
next they will say the enemy is God!
Mail in ballots = ballots harvesting = fraud.
Except in California where it ‘surprisingly’ worked out well for the Republicans – but that Trump seems to know a lot about how these frauds work – could there be a correlation?
@Ian Dalziel He knows what sneaks the Dems are. Anyone with half a brain knows they are liars and cheats.
@LadyofCleves65 – Jeez lady you really _have_ lost your head!
Your perfect ‘president’ just said this _“The fact is, People should want to help people, not to make political points, it’s really sad when they do that.”_ – and within hours had proved he was lying – as he does on a daily basis…
Why this stubborn need to see only good in Trump/GOP, and only bad in the Democrats? – they are all human why not consider them both equally and individually – otherwise you diminish yourself.
vote for trump some more you idiots….enjoy
Why do I think China did this too.. Genuine concern.
I’d be concerned if you that, too…
Let them suffer more! They’re the cause of Middle East being destroyed! Let them feel how it’s to lose everything!
Middle East destroys themselves. fighting all the time.
0:41 That looks so fake.
It must be the ccp’s dirty works. LOLS. Easy fix, blame China for their own incompetence..
United States Of Disasters..
lets blame President Trump so we can feel better about ourselves
2020 can’t get any worse.
God: hold my beer.
God don’t drink beer,but it was nice
Know we will see how real this Covid-19 is. Are they evacuating people in mask and 6ft away. Eventually everything just reveals itself. This man made Plandemic………all a setup.
Remember this is the same President Trump who said just in the last few days:
_“The fact is, People should want to help people, not to make political points, it’s really sad when they do that.”_
Perhaps he should take his own advice…
Gotta love that D+ in infrastructure
D+? I can see the F though…
@Ian Dalziel D+ with the curve
My prayers Michigan. Dealing with the effects of bad government, led water, Corona virus, now a flood damb.!
THE GOVERNOR AND CITY MAYOR AND THEIR CRONIES FAILED TO DO ALL THEIR JOBS FOR NOT MAKING SUSTAINING THE CAPABILITY OF THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE OVER SEE THE DAM STRUCTURE OR ANY THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE
Where is Trump…..?!
Probably Playing Golf 😂
Exactly
Turn off CNN and get some facts right.
This God-forsaken Rust Belt state can’t be beaten down any more than it already has been. America is crumbling in many places at once. It took 39 years of Reaganomics to get us where we are now and the result cannot be reversed in my lifetime or yours. Sometime soon America will look like the Japan of 1945.
WE GOT MONEY FOR WARS BUT NOT OUR LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
And most everybody sees it too. There are bound to be drastic system wide changes, one way or another.
@Apuat
I second your emotions..
Revolution or we perish at the hands of sociopaths.
the efficiency of millitary in managing its assets is nowhere close to corrupt politicians … if corrupt politicians would have efficient SINGLE PENNY WOULD NOT HAVE REACHED PUBLIC
Why don’t people go out protest back to work where all guns . now Trump going to cut fund now that is your leader and yo vote for it.. Pray for all of you be safe
What safety and monitoring of Dams here??? Pathetic saying developed
What does the US spend on its military? 58 cents per dollar?
USA GOD’S punishment has arrived. You will face what you have done to innocents.
There all no innocents, all the world is guilty.
Shut up you stupid donkey lol
Infrastructure failures that displace thousands aren’t a political issue, the market will deal with it.
Yankees getting what they deserve 😂
Long live the Peoples Republic of China!!
Millions of people died beacuse of wars wage by US from last 4decades their love ones prayers come true in the form covid19 floods weak economy jobles people US oil industry bankrupt many more thing on the way
USA “am I a joke to you?”
me ” yes it appears to be so!”
And all these country republicans keep voting republican. Tax cuts to the rich, welfare for corporation, government bailouts for big business.. instead of spending on replacing/maintaining infrastructure. Yet even after this they’ll still vote republican because it’s not about their best interest of their future, it’s about being white america, guns n jeezus
Just like New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Poor infrastructure and lack of funding.
Finally America is finally facing their Karma for creating chaos, murders, stealing from all around the world
Actually this stuff is very common. They all have insurance so it all gets replaced like brand new. Also no one died. It’s not that serious like what’s going on in the Philippines or Bangladesh.
the EQUATIONS of INFINITY of TIME
The American anti China cults and the Government has always been very critical about China’s 3 Gorges Dam for the last 20 years,condemning their instability and structures,in fact,America always criticises others for not doing things to their agreements and liking as if their preference is God’s will and deem superior.American Infrastructures had stagnated since the 80s,yet,Government spend too much money on unwelcome Military interventions and bases,they champion their ways of lives,especially their Democracy but they failed so badly to perform.
Lots of water in michigin and lots of water in calcutta
Why isn’t this covered by the so called 24 hours news cycle?.
Because it’s detrimental to America’s image. This might be the worst refugee crisis Michigan has ever seen. I was just talking with a friend about dam certification when the one in Edenville broke, he thought folks were worrying too much, I told him dams shouldn’t be unmaintained for a century (seriously no joke they haven’t repaired it since it was built)
Praying 🙏🏼 for west bengal and US.
Forget about your election campaign and stop spending trillions on welfare when your infrastructure is having a failure?
Simply tRump. Put monies from your new space arm of the military into this country’s infrastructure. Or, let the maga people go shoot the water with automatic weapons ( that’ll show that dam dem water- it’s all a liberal conspiracy, you know….)
the enemy is the virus? she is the enemy. she has been a monster to those people in her area
Doesn’t look like a $uper Power now…bad president bad administration unwanted conflicts stupid crusades.
Karma is catching up
I think a tax cut for the wealthy would fix the problem.
Governor doesn’t look very concerned
She looking at this as an opportunity to get elected again
Love how the masks are off. Ha ha ha. Hoax is over. We are underwater… watch the “spike” in common cold deaths and drownings that are written up as COVID.. ha ha. What a joke…
Vote Democratic Michigan it really is doing your state wonders. From tainted water to water falls called dams…… ha ha ha ha
Hey Al Jazeera! Greetings from St.Helen Michigan. I worry about the dam over in Mio.
We have far too many old dams up here in Michigan. I worry for some of the dams in the Keweenaw. Hey yo people worldwide: come to Michigan sometime, we like most folks from anywhere. I’d love to see more immigration to some of the northern backwoods of the state, I really think some folks from the low caucuses would find interesting similarities in our geography. Stay safe y’all; turn around don’t drown.
Democratic hoaxes ?
Trump sent that message before this flooding, don’t try to combine the two for your agenda. Being a Michigan resident, the democrats will not ruin this state anymore, if you can’t walk into a booth to vote, then your vote doesn’t count, pretty simple.
Governor Giddy with delight, smiles saying virus and flood are the enemy.
😂😂😂😂floods giving freedom and democracy 😂
Hard to believe George Soros financed Witmer’s election.. .. Wait a moment.. No it isn’t.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DEMS HAVENT FIXED ANYTHING IN YEARS.
Now can we leave our home nurse rashid?
dam got covid too, will also blame CCP this time? good excuse isnt it
No vote by mail! It’s the recipe for cheating.
Ok trump
someone stole the boot from his uncle and drove into a bieber dam
Karma hit to trump
And President Trump is more interested in visiting an auto Factory where they make ventilators and doing a campaign run rather than even addressed the flooding in Michigan and not even wearing a mask in that factory? Why doesn’t he visit a shelter and wear a mask what do you even wear masks in the shelter where people are evacuated?
Is anyone really surprised that the president would say this?
I live here and the only town that was really swal!owed was Sanford but it will recover as will we all
For all you BIBLICAL illiterates blaming a word called SATAN: In the Bible YHVH has 2,476,633 kills, NOT including the flood or Sodom and Gomorrah. Satan has 10…..first 2 pages of the Book of Job. I am a Hebrew reading Bible Scholar and an ordained Minister. The 4th word of Genesis in Hebrew is ELOHIM and correctly translates to LOFTY ONES-PLURAL-2536 Times in the O.T…………THAT is what the Bible says. Since Jews own Google you can NOT TRUST their Translator or search results….taken me 20 years almost of daily hours long study. The Old Testament is a history of the Anunnaki (elohim) and their wars. Try READING IT.
Soooo…
People, pets,..being washed away but the ‘news’ turns to Trump?
Laughable at best.
Maybe go get a rowboat and stand in it with your guns lol
Yup, mess with mother nature steal the land from the Native Americans. This is what you get 😏
A lot of people in Michigan were protesting the stay at home orders? Now many of them don’t have a home to stay at home in.
Well when the little Black kids in Flint were poisoned by the Republican Governor, ya’ll sided with the Republican Governor. God don’t like ugly. Deal with it.
Michigan is trash anyway
Has fake news and democrats blamed President Trump yet??
Don’t forget you guys your governor says you’re not allowed to use your boat or you’ll go to jail !
This democratic whitmaer is playing politics not trump
God bless Michigan
She did that .
Well, it is better to fire more than hundred patriot missiles into syria rather than building infrastucture right ? 😄😄😄
God plz make your blessings on them
Plz save the loves god
This is all DICTATOR DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER’S FAULT!
