1927 Flood in Vermont

Added for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Disasters".
A relatively tame photo postcard of the 1927 flood from my husband's family's collection.
The print says: High Water opp. Fellows Gear Shaper Co.
Black River: Springfield, Vermont. Nov. 4, 1927.

The University of Vermont's Bailey Howe Library has this to say (along with more dramatic photos) :

"Known as one of Vermont's most devastating events, the 1927 flood took out 1285 bridges, miles and miles of roads and railroads, and countless homes and buildings. Eighty-four people died in the flood, including Lt. Governor S. Hollister Jackson."
