My mother grew up on the river in Leavenworth, indiana. Her family had to leave their house to a boat from the second floor windows. Then they watched it lift off the stone foundation and float down the Ohio. The memories of that flood haunted my mother the rest of her life, as it did to thousands that lived through it in the Ohio Valley.
God Bless Portsmouth... My home

My father also lived through the flood, in Jeffersonville, Ind. I wondered if I could use your anecdote for my 1937 flood project?
