Description: Being offered is a vintage, RPPC, real photo photograph postcard. The image shows a mofor flood on Main Street, Columbus, Ohio in 1913. The card is used and postmarked 1913. The image looks to have some age related fading but otherwise nice shape. There are some edge and corner bruises, but no rips, tears, or creases. The postcard is approx. 5 1/2" by 3 7/16". I am not sure how to grade something like this so have taken close-up pics to help assess the items condition, what you see is what you get. The Columbus Dispatch newspaper reported, "On March 23, 1913, Ohioans were in for an unexpected and tragic weather event, the Great Flood of 1913. The disaster, considered the most catastrophic weather event in Ohio's history, left behind destruction and loss of life. The flood lasted from Easter Sunday, March 23, until March 27, and caused the deaths of at least 467 people. Columbus and Dayton suffered the worst from the flood, with 93 and 123 fatalities, respectively. Chillicothe had 22 deaths and Delaware reported 18. The storm dropped as much as 10 inches of rain, causing streams, creeks and rivers across Ohio to flood and leading to the crumbling of levees in the Miami and Scioto river valleys. The flood destroyed nearly 500 buildings in Columbus and damaged over 4,000 more, with 15 to 20 feet of water drenching areas west of the Scioto River."Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my items.
