Looking Into Mudflood Discussion in Lawrenceburg, IN. July, 2020.

I have heard on the periphery a discussion about a mudflood in various areas around the world, but had not looked into it much. What got my attention was a video posted by Jon Levi about multiple below-grade floors of the Mormon temple in Salt Lake being excavated. As a builder, it was a bizarre event to watch occurring.

While in Lawrenceburg, IN, I noticed that there was a lot of at-grade and below-grade windows, doors, and the like in that town. Before Levi's video that I watched, I had never really paid much mind to this. As I walked through the city to grab a handful of video clips of things that no builder in his right mind would do, the subject has moved up the scale of interest to me.

We were simply passing through town and I was not intending to record anything. I wish I would have thought to grab my GoPro for better quality video, but my phone was better than nothing.

This is me merely making quick observations. I can see with my eyes that buildings are sunk into the ground or the ground is higher than it should be around these buildings, but I do not know why this is the case. I put the term "mudflood" into the title because it is the only thing I could think of that gives someone a quick frame of context for the content of the video. I want to understand why this is the way it is, but as of right now, I have no clue.
