SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: OHIO'S KATRINA: The Great Easter Flood of 1913
They called it the Great Dayton Flood, but the entire Midwest from Pittsburgh to St. Louis was nearly washed away. Three months of rain fell in four days, turning the lowlands of Ohio into a veritable inland sea. Trudy E. Bell recounts the whole story from the first drop of rain to the innovations in flood-control technology and disaster relief that followed.
