81
It is good that people were able to find some things to laugh about, but there was little reason to smile during those few weeks in May and June, 1948. Water reached from one side of the Creston Valley to the other, with only a thin line of the dykes showing in some places. The crops, with the exception of those on Nick's Island, were destroyed.82
There was nothing to do but wait until the water went down. |
