Just finished watching a Discovery channel show on the Johnstown flood which occurred on May 31, 1889, 116 years ago.

That was indeed a tragedy, some 2200 people being killed.

Such a contrast to the peaceful postcards of that era.

Shoot! I would have liked to have seen that!
Whenever we visited PA and Ohio, relatives always talked about that!
