Floods and Famine Hit Louisville Riverfront
Massive floods sweep Louisville and southern Indiana as the Ohio River rises to record levels. Thousands flee homes from Pearl street to the Kentucky hills, with 600 families homeless in Cincinnati and heavy property losses citywide. Relief efforts mobilize with $78,000 approved, bread and fuel distributed from riverfront depots, and boats aiding rescues amid a chaotic, nightmarish scene. In Indiana, New Albany reports 3,000 job losses and widespread displacement as river waters engulf factories and rail lines recede the region into emergency mode.
