Twenty years after the June 5 1902 flood that swept Big Creek across La Porte City, a republication recalls the disaster. The cloudburst destroyed rail and wagon bridges, damaged electric light plant, flooded meadows, broke abutments, and left La Porte City with no water or mail for days as trains slowly resumed service from the south and repair crews labored to restore the town's utilities.
