sir if you were to make a youtube video on big floods around the world (wich is a good idea) make sure you add a couple pictures of 1955 and Japan, Tokyo, Friday 2011. what happend to japan today is like nothing you will see probalby until the complete end of your life
I don't know of anything online. I would start at the Yuba County library. I am not aware of anyone putting a video together, although it would be a good idea.
@stone35077 it is almost like it didn't happen they refuse to admit that the people warned the Linda town council that the levees needed repair till it happened and the duplex i lived in was destroyed near the grocery store and the peachtree mall where i went to chuckee cheeses and played games sad bit of history
@stone35077 Im Publishing a vid on the flood its volume 1 and rough got alot of work and research to do and will post vol 2 with more data and facts for you all
We were so lucky. In the U.S.Navy at that time stationed in Alameda, came home to Marysville to pick up parents to go to Southern CA to spend Christmas with family. Family dog was taken by neighbors to the radio station in Yuba City . We heard about the flood on the radio while in Long Beach. Found out it was our dog when we returned. We had a one-yr-old daughter at that time and were grateful to be in a safe place for Christmas, but lost friends in the flood. Sad time.
We got flooded in Colusa in the mid '80s, then again when we moved into YC, out towards Sutter (we used to own the property where Helena chemicals is). Then we moved to Messick Rd in '97 or '98 and got flooded there again when the levees broke! Haha, but I loved growing up there. It's grown so much since we moved away.
I am a student at Yuba College and we are working in coordination with Harmony Health Resource Center and their youth group, "R-spot" to make a documentary about how the floods have changed what's available to the youth of Linda and how they, the youth, can change things. Your video is so incredible and we would love your input or any info you could share. Please let me know if you could help. I know the kids would love it.
Watched with tears in my eyes. My Grandfather and uncle were killed in the 1955 flood. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. Jill (Blackburn) Jackson
Wow - It was a real pleasure to watch this video. What was even better though was listening to the soundtrack. The song "Holding on to Hope" was written and recorded by my wife Jayne and her sister Janice. On July 29th, 2003 Jayne passed away from complications due to Pancreatic Cancer. Next week will mark the 5th year since she crossed over. Thank you to Sutter County for posting this video. Jayne - keep shining your light on the family!
Janice White says: "What an honor to use one of our recordings to help tell this story. It is another way for me to hold on to Jayne. (The song, by the way, was actually written by Rick Giles and Susan Longacre).
Such a tragedy in '55; so many people lost so much. I remember at Franklin School, our 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Stromer, shared the story of her and her 2-year-old son clinging to a tree waiting several hours to be rescued. When she was done, you could hear a pin drop in that classroom.
That was crazy I only remember the 97 flood of Meridian where I grew up! But have to say that the video made me appreciate the history of Yuba City Meridian and other communities!
Sure does bring back the memories....lived pretty far out at Lincoln & Township Rds, so water was moving slowly by then, couple feet deep, coming down Lincoln Rd, as Mom in the car and me on my horse were leaving heading West, eventually to end up at my Grandpa Ziegenmeyer's house in Sutter. We had been in our new house for one year, and were lucky. It was on a high foundation and only got water just up under the floors. Water waist deep in barns and shop areas. What a mess!!
