Flood of 1997 - Madison, Indiana

Video shot from the Indiana shoreline of the flood from March 1997. I'm standing at the foot of the Madison/Milton bridge while shooting this, and you can clearly see the flood waters at the Key West Shrimp House.

@MsNika008 I know the video was from 1997 (I've got some of my own) I was referring to the comment 'amishcomputergeek' made about the "1939" flood. I think he/she meant 1937. Cheers!

Actually the year was 1937...worst flooding ever recorded on the Ohio river. 70% of Louisville, KY under water. The river crested at about 80ft in Cincinnati, OH.

Cheers!

Wow, they closed the bridge down. That would have been awesome to walk across.

That was a pretty bad flood but not as bad as 1939 I believe
