On this day in 1959, Delaware County was one of many casualties in Ohio due to massive flooding. The flood was caused by a major winter storm bringing heavy, continuous rain (3-6 inches) onto deeply frozen ground and snowpack, leading to extreme, rapid runoff and overflowing streams as Alum Creek waterway and the Delaware Run, which had caused nearly $100 million of destruction.
Warm temperatures had caused the snow to melt rapidly, while the frozen soil prevented absorption, directing nearly all water into rivers and creeks, overwhelming them.
Pictured is the aftermath of the O’Shaughnessy Dam in Powell, near the Columbus Zoo.

Went to school at St. Mary's ... they sent us home I think, due to the Delaware Run rising onto the playground and their concern it may rise further
businesses on Sandusky st. that had basements with the Delaware Run under them were flooded
If the dam at Alum Creek was constructed in ‘73, what is the structure in the picture on the right?
