Record of the Oconee flood's dramatic rise and damage
A historical flood along the Oconee River from Sunday night to Tuesday afternoon dumped 12.08 inches of rain in 37 hours, flooding bridges, washing away parts of several streets, damaging the old waterworks dam, and forcing emergency measures. Bridges on College Avenue and Broad Street were swept, the waterworks were submerged, trains halted, and Mayor Dorsey was stranded aboard a freight train while Athens endured extensive street and factory damage.
