Description
This
photograph
shows
a
National
Cash
Register
rescue
boat
helping
flood
victims
in
Dayton
,
Ohio
during
the
1913
flood
. A
water
mark
is
seen
on the
homes
in the
background
to
show
the
height
the
water
reached
during
the
flood
. This

. The
March
1913
flood
was a
natural
disaster
unparalleled
in the
history
of the
Miami
Valley
region
.
Within
a
three-day
period
,
eight
to
eleven
inches
of
rainfall
fell
throughout
the
Great
Miami
River
Basin
Watershed
. This
rainfall
,
coupled
with
frozen
ground
,
produced
over
90
percent
runoff
and
caused
the
Great
Miami
River
and its
tributary
streams
to
overflow
.
Consequently
,
every
city
along
the
river
was
inundated
with
floodwaters
. The
amount
of
water
that
passed
through
the
river
channel
in
Dayton
equaled
the
amount
of
water
that
flows
over
Niagara
Falls
in a
30-day
period
. The
cost
of this
tragic
event
was
extremely
high
.
Over
360
people
lost
their
lives
and
property
damage
exceeded
$100,000,000
.
