The Fairbanks Flood (MP3)

Ted Harris  -  The Fairbanks Flood  (2:10)

In early-mid August 1967, heavier than normal rains caused the Chena and LIttle Chena Rivers to overflow their banks and flood "The Golden Heart City" of Fairbanks, Alaska.

The event was documented by Ted Harris on this 45rpm record.  The photos below were taken by Life magazine photographer Ralph Crane.
