Description |
Flooding is the nation's number one weather-related killer. In Columbus, the Scioto River has a long history of flooding. Yet, no one was prepared for the magnitude of the flood on March 23-27, 1913. The Flood of 1913 remains the most devastating weather disaster in Columbus history. Columbus was cute in half by the floodwaters of the Scioto River, when a levee protecting the west side failed. The rush of floodwaters through railroad underpasses created whirlpools and great rapids that swept away people, animals, homes, and businesses. Nearly 100 people died, most of them living in the low lying areas of Franklinton. Water was as high as 22 feet.Nearly 300 homes and businesses were destroyed and another 4,071 were damaged. Hundreds of residents clung to rooftops and trees for two days, in freezing weather with no food and water, waiting for rescue. Over 20,000 people were left homeless and an additional 15,000 were living in the second floors of their homes as a result of the flood. |
