(MNN)-Today is the one-year anniversary of the breach of Rapidan Dam in south central Minnesota near Mankato. The floodwaters on the Blue Earth River caused a partial dam failure last June 24. The torrent swept away an electrical substation and undercut the river’s west bank to the point where the nearby Hruska family home fell into the water. County officials purchased the neighboring Dam Store and removed it to prevent more debris from entering the river.
