STRICKEN

A view taken at Ludlow and Second Streets, Dayton, after the water had receded, showing one phase of the devestation resulting from the flood. [Yes those are dead horses.]

Showing the difficulties experienced by the rescuers in getting to the hundreds of people whose lives were imperiled by being caught in the flooded buildings.

Man walking along the telephone cables after escaping from his house, whcih was washed away by the flood. The houses in the center have been washed from their foundations and are floating away.

Part of the residential section of Fremont, Ohio, flooded. The water reached to the second story of the houses.

Showing what was once the town of Lower Peachtree. The six X's denote the places where houses stood before the tornado, in the heart of the main residential streets.

Hundreds of substantial buildings were lifted from their foundations and piled up like broken cigar boxes simply by the awful sweep of the wind.

Some of the most prominent society women and girls in Dayton shouldered hoes and shovels in the work of cleaning up the city.
