- Here is the complete "The Great Ohio River Flood" episode of the 1978 television series "When Havoc Struck." This episode features dramatic interviews from survivors and original footage from the 1937 record flood.
My parents and aunts all talked of the ‘37 flood as an inedible landmark of their young lives.
Thanks for posting.
That $1400 piano in 1936-37 would cost over $24,000 in May 2017.
I think I watched this series as a kid. I wish I’d done the math and thought to ask my maternal grandparents about this flood. They would have been teenagers and they lived in northern Kentucky just across the river from Cincinnati, but for young kids anything before you were born feels as ancient as the pyramids.
9:04: I think that's the first time I ever saw Foster Brooks sober.
ilovebeinagirl In real life Foster didn't drink alcohol but he had quite a career playing a funny drunk.
Beat me to it. I was shocked… I think this is the first time I’ve seen Brooks sober. I knew it was his ‘act’, but it’s still odd the first time you see it. 🤣
Odd what seeing folks packed into boxcars bring to mind. Not even a decade after this, I doubt they would even think of doing that. Necessary or not. Even needing to move people quickly I doubt would have been enough to make an American resort to that.
Is that the Rosemary Clooney?
Yes.
The very same.
Ahhh, yes the Mellotron of Doom
dregg the river deeper
MsJinkerson ......you mean “dredge”
Move the people out of the flood plain.
I would NEVER have a house near a lake, a river, on the beachfront, even a stream, I’m not a water person, I think if it floods so many times why do idiot residents stay there, makes no sense, good luck, I’ll stay high and dry!!
Agreed. Never live near a river, or in a river valley. The Mississippi has flooding that extends 80 miles east & west of it's banks. Stay away.
