Historic Moments -- The Great Flood of 1913

The Great Flood of 1913 swept across central and southern Indiana and throughout Ohio, becoming the most devastating flood in the history of those states. Individual homes and entire neighborhoods were destroyed, and almost 500 lives were lost in Ohio alone. The flooding was caused by a storm that first hit Omaha, Nebraska, on Easter Sunday, 23 March, spawning a tornado that ripped its way through the state, killing more than 150 people and injuring more than 400. Flooding began two days later in Indiana and Ohio. You've gotta see the pictures. Click on Flood of 1913
