Time lapse video of ice jam

No clue what river this is from, but I saw it on the Weather Channel and thought I’d share:

That’s awesome!

Here’s one I shot of the MN river last year, kind of the same deal:

Thanks for sharing dtro. Obviously that bridge and others like it are built to withstand this kind of stuff, but is there any point where the MNDOT will shut down bridges like that just in case they don’t, or have they ever historically?

Well most of the bridges around here are shut down by default as the nearby road approaches are flooded over. I think the bridge in Henderson takes the most beating. It’s one of the lowest and I’ve seen years where ice, trees, and water are crashing into the deck.

This year is going to be interesting….

thats incredible, thanks free for putting that up. I saw your vid last year Dtro, pretty amazing

This year will be “interesting”

If you never have watched an ice flow, it is something that needs to be seen. Pretty awe inspiring and surreal.
