Dan Gregg: Good year. That's when I was born. Mom used to tell me about having to boil my diapers during Agnes
Karen Shores DeGrange: My grandmother was the one who did the boating busniess and camping business she so loved the people . And when the floods come it was like people come out of the wood works to help they would line up and help load up the trucks to pack up her things. So said to see it a boat landing they should have kept her house for a Ranger Station. But the memories will never die.
Ronnie Pearl: That was power storm they had boats going up and down Main Street point of rocks helping people get things from there homes few residents who wouldn't leave got to there roof top and helicopter rescued them. The bridge was closed for few days for safety reasons.The picture is the train tunnel.
I heard about people taking motor boats through the tunnel during this flood...Peter
