3 quotes from The Johnstown Flood

"Nobody thought it would happen, and that is the crime of it. The flood was a warning, but the failure to listen was the true disaster."
"It was a shocking demonstration of nature's power, a reminder that man, with all his ingenuity, is still vulnerable to forces beyond his control."
"In the aftermath of the flood, the souls lost were more than just statistics; they were lives that had dreams, hopes, and loved ones left behind."
