[PRCo] 1936___Flood

[Jim Holland]

Good Morning!


	Quoting from Lorant's book on pg.354:

	"""On St.Patrick's day in 1936 Pgh. suffered one
of its most devastating floods.    On Monday, March 16,
the waters rose to 21.7-feet; two days later they
had risen to 46-feet.......       there was a fear of
epidemic and of looting.     The Downtown section
was placed under martial law."""

	Is It Recorded as to how much was under water?

	How far out Penn  --  to Butler?     This would
also include Liberty.

	Parts of Grant at least.

	What about North Side?

	West End would  *seem*  relatively immune except
for RR along river.

	McKeesport?
