Dad's House in the 1937 Flood

2424 Eastern Ave. (now Riverside) from the 1937 Flood
Yesterday, Bryan Phillips, owner of the East End facebook page, texted me that there was a video on you tube that had a picture of my Dad's house 2 minutes and 30 seconds in.  I couldn't wait to check it out.




Brian Gordon posted this video on facebook in April, 2010. Here is how he described it.


I contacted Brian Gordon for permission to embed the video and a "snip" of Dad's house on this blog. He graciously agreed. Although we have a picture of Dad's house in the flood, I don't think it does justice to just how bad the flood was for the Jones family. I'm also grateful for Brian Gordon's description of everything on this video.

I guess it gives a whole new meaning to "A River Runs Through Us."

    The old movie of the flood of 1937, was heart breaking. I heard about it, but was not born at the time. Uncle Fred and Aunt Norrine'e home must of been a disaster. Love reading your blogs.
