We got a lot of rain in a very short amount of time

This is not just isolated to the city...damn near all of Michigan got hit with this

 

[Race Jones]

How so?

Detroit is riddled w environmental injustices and for it to be the Blackest city in america, its not hard to understand why.

the shit is collapsing at this point

Country so hell bent on spending money on frivolous shit, that it takes major incidents for an eyebrow to be raised.

The bridge in Memphis has acrack in it, that could have made it collapse.

The Bridge in Minneapolis collapsed less than 10 years ago.

Flint and sour rounding areas still waiting on pipe replacement.

Shit ton of highway overpasses are at their end of life.

But hey, send another couple billion out to foreign countries.

[Ghost313]

Niggas out scooping up cars. Ain’t no Dodge safe out there, even if it’s flooded out …

This is akin to entire Black towns being burned down/flooded out, a la Tulsa's Black Wall Street, only to have lakes built over where those towns used to be

Hope all of you guys that are affected be safe.

So much of America's infrastructure seems to be on the brink of catastrophe.

Other nations are eating up tax payer money, though.

Gets the noggin joggin...
