Early reports from Johnstown describe an enormous flood disaster as the valley is swept by a torrent nine miles long with a 300 foot fall. Thousands are feared dead as trains, bridges, and mills are buried under debris and flames engulf the wreckage. Death toll estimates rise to 8,000 and may exceed that figure.
