1936 Flood (Zdrojkowski family photos)

Braddock streets became waterways on March 17, 1936 as the Saint Patrick Day’s flood took its toll. The Monongahela and Ohio and the numerous smaller streams that feed them burst over their banks and sent the Ohio River to its highest point since 1924. Business throughout the region was brought to a standstill. This flood is remembered as one of our region’s most devastating natural disasters. These photos are courtesy of Ron Zdrojkowski; please also see the flood photos from the Braddock Carnegie Library.
