The plaques are on a wall of the observation tower by the river at the foot of Main Street in the River Market and show the levels of three of our floods. In 1993, thank goodness, the levees held and there was no flooding in the bottoms. Notice how similar the dates are.
OK, I know all about the flood of '93. It was here in my community. I even wrote a song about it.
ReplyDeleteI do remember the flood of '51, although we hadn't moved to KC yet; my sister lived in North Kansas City, and she brought us a book about that flood that had been printed by the KC Star.
