The
Flood of '35
On Sunday evening
July 7, 1935
the skies north of the Southern Tier opened up, dumping more than 11 inches
of rain in some areas and inundating the rivers, lakes and streams through out
the valley. The terrible chain of events that followed would devastate small
towns and cities alike, destroying hundreds of homes and property and claiming
more than 50 lives. It would become the worst natural disaster in the history
of the Southern Tier.
Using hundreds of photographs
and archival film footage, and through first person accounts
of the people who lived through it, THE FLOOD OF '35 tells the
story of that horrible night and the days that followed, days
that changed lives and the Southern Tier forever.
