My grandmother was around during this time, her sister was in Canada at the time visiting family. After this disaster, my grandmother made a scrap book and every year when something was released about the flood (magazine, news articles, etc) she would put it in the book. After she passed 6 years ago the book was given to me because I was the only one in the family who took interest in the book every time I visited her (I am a huge history person). I treasure that book, it was a disaster yes, but its a part of our history and my grandmother's.
I was 4 1/2 yrs. old and we lived between So. Washington Ave. and the banks of the Lackawanna River. I remember looking out of my 2nd floor bedroom and thinking that someone threw our house into the river. My 3 siblings and I were separated and sent to live with relatives whose homes were on higher ground for what seemed like forever. It was a scary time that put a life-long burden on my heart for children living in places devastated by extreme weather and unrest. God bless and protect all in these situations and may they be assured that Jesus loves them and will see them through.🙏
4:28 I lived it. Westborough, Massachusetts. Although we took a direct hit from the 1953 tornado, lucky for us we lived on a hill overlooking town when Diane's rains came. *BTW:* Adjusted for inflation, $200,000,000.00 in 1955 is equal to $1,881,895,131.09 in 2019.
Interesting how they over use the term person and "persons" and never used "people" indicating they are speaking of the political office of person. The lowest political position there is, they call the "person". Because the term the People holds all the authority... just food for thought.
