Great Flood of 1913 [Flood]

[Jim Eshelman]

The worst natural disaster in two states - Ohio and Indiana - was the Great Flood of 1913.

The flood, impacting 20 different states, occurred March 23-26, 1913 when heavy rains fell and "major rivers in the central and eastern United States flooded." 650 people died, making this the second deadliest flood in U.S. history (after Johnstown). Property damage exceeded a third of a billion dollars across the Midwest. By the 25th, "the Ohio River and its tributaries flooded cities such as Indianapolis... Cincinnati... Columbus... Dayton."

In Ohio, 422 to 470 people died. Dayton was the hardest hit - so much so that the event was called the Great Dayton Flood - and, at one point, was under 20' of water. Property damage in Dayton was over $73M. Dayton's levees were topped at 5:30 AM March 25, then levees south of downtown failed entirely about 8:00 AM and the flood was in full swing. I'd use 8:00 AM as the key time.


Indiana: The Great Flood of 1913
Central Indiana also flooded, centered mostly around Indianapolis but reaching "from Logansport to Attica." In Indianapolis, the water rose to nearly 20 feet above flood stage, a bridge was washed away, 7,000 families lost their homes, and 5 people died. It seems this hit crisis level on the 25th also, so the same time/date as for Ohio will be usable for Indianapolis.

Additionally, a major tornado hit Terre Haute March 23 in the evening.
