Title	Tiffin Souvenir Flood Views Booklet
Subject	Climate and Weather Geography and Natural Resources Floods
Place	Tiffin (Ohio) Seneca County (Ohio)
Description	This book of photographs documents the effects of the 1913 flood on Tiffin, Ohio. It contains 25 photographs, along with names of those who died and statistics regarding the number of homes, businesses, and other property destroyed. The pamphlet is 29 pages long and measures 7.75" x 5.25" (19.69 x 13.34 cm). In late March 1913, an unusually heavy rainstorm moved into Ohio. It rained steadily for five days and the streams all over Ohio rose rapidly. By the third day of the downpour, levees were overtopped and many towns suffered disastrous flooding. Great fires that raged unchecked added to the destruction and the loss of life. When the flood waters receded, tons of mud and debris covered the streets, homes, businesses and factories. The death toll stood at 361. Property damages were well over $100,000,000 and 65,000 were forced to temporarily leave their homes.
