印第安纳州和1913年的大洪水[AZW3/MOBI]

印第安纳州在1913年的大洪水中遭受了巨大损失，然而这场灾难基本上被遗忘了。龙卷风和洪水共同席卷Terre Haute，造成20多人死亡。在114英里外的秘鲁，马戏团在风暴中失去了大部分动物。在该州的西南角，正如当地报纸所说，一片海水冲刷着埃文斯维尔，把街道变成了运河。在首都，堤坝溃决导致数百人无家可归，容易受到疾病和饥荒的影响。南希·M·杰曼诺博士从档案照片、报纸和当地报道中分享了来自全州的故事，以揭示印第安纳州的定居和发展历史是如何导致该州最严重的灾难之一的。
Indiana and the Great Flood of 1913 [AZW3/MOBI]
Indiana suffered enormous losses in the Great Flood of 1913, yet this disaster is largely forgotten. The combined tornado and flood barreled through Terre Haute, killing more than twenty. In Peru, 114 miles away, the circus lost most of its animals in the storm. At the southwestern corner of the state, a sea of water, as local papers put it, washed over Evansville, turning streets into canals. In the capital, levee failures left hundreds homeless and vulnerable to disease and famine. Pulling from archival photographs, newspapers and local accounts, Dr. Nancy M. Germano shares stories from across the state to reveal how Indiana’s history of settlement and development contributed to one of the state’s worst disasters.
