Photographs and Postcards

See the devastation left behind from the flood waters that raged through the city of Dayton in just 48 hours in this photograph and postcard collection. There were fires and explosions throughout the city from gas line breaks. The weather turned cold after the storms left the region and those that survived the flood had to deal with having no shelter, food or water in the freezing temperatures.
