The grew up in the west end and our house didn't even get water in the basement, however, my dad and I went into Tanneryville the morning after the flood looking for new on our cousins. We were told the water took their house out the night before. I can't begin to tell you how much damage the water caused nor the fear we had when we realized large drums were hitting the bridge we crossed getting in as far as we did. Over the next several weeks we volunteered to clean up mud messes, mainly the Catholic church of St Columba. Nothing can brace you of the smell and mud everywhere. Years later and I still have very vivid memories of the flood, they never go away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346890737073327041.post-62932432069508007142017-07-21T22:42:52.205-04:002017-07-21T22:42:52.205-04:00You are a treasure for the history of Johnstown!
