How much greater was the '37 flood than its predecessors? Lots.
This one's a mystery. I found it among a group of 1937
Carrollton Flood pics, and it
certainly looks like the aftermath of a flood, but it's exact location? If
you can identify it,
please click below on "contact me" below and let me know.
