🚨 Urgent emergency evacuations were ordered due to an imminent dam failure

Earlier this afternoon, emergency officials issued urgent evacuation orders due to the imminent failure of the reservoir dam in Nashville, Illinois. Intense thunderstorms have caused extremely heavy downpours, with 6-8 inches of rain already fallen and more on the way, leading to significant flooding. The dam has experienced two failures, prompting officials to urge residents in nearly 300 homes to evacuate. Multiple homes and roads are inundated, vehicles are stranded by high water, and rivers are overflowing. If you are in the area or know someone who is, tell them to immediately move to higher ground.
