Reagan views flood damage in Fort Wayne
President Reagan conducted a 21 hour visit amid the worst floods in nearly 70 years that submerged Fort Wayne Indiana under 10 feet of water. Eight thousand residents evacuated with preliminary damage pegged at 16 million dollars as 4000 more were moved from the central area. Reagan helped place sandbags along the St Marys River and met displaced residents, promising federal aid.
