The Worst Flood in American History - 1927

In the spring of 1927, the Mississippi River unleashed the most destructive flood in American history. Levees collapsed with the force of Niagara Falls, submerging 27,000 square miles and displacing nearly one million people. Families were stranded on rooftops as entire towns vanished under thirty feet of water. This is the story of the Great Flood of 1927, the disaster that broke the South and forced the nation to rewrite its relationship with nature.
