what is that footer under the house?


If there is no basement I know the footer needs to be below the frost line to prevent heaving.



Looks like that's part of the basement.

All that water going around the dam would have been going over it right now but for the unintentional spillway.

I wish the northern US had the equivalent of an intercostal canal that could be used to divert water like this across the country to help feed places like lake Meade, etc that suffer droughts.

Don't know that area, I wonder how much inhabited land is about to be reclaimed by the river.
