ISBN: 9798896654575 - the heppner flood: the 1903 oregon flash flood that killed 247 in an hour (8 Ergebnisse)

Zustand: New.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. On a warm Sunday afternoon in June 1903, Heppner, Oregon, was doing what small towns do: preparing supper, visiting neighbors, getting ready for church. Then, just after five, Willow Creek rose as if the valley itself had snapped. A wall of water, mud, timber, and wreckage tore straight through town, smashing homes, bridges, and Main Street in minutes. By the time the torrent spent itself, 247 people were dead-one in five residents, gone in less than an hour.The Heppner Flood takes readers from the dry hills above town, where a thunderstorm burst out of sight, to the first strange sounds beneath the hail, to the instant when scattered warnings turned into blind panic. Here are the people who ran uphill, clung to roofs, turned back for children, spouses, and neighbors, and then faced the terrible work of calling names into the mud. The result is a true account with the velocity of a disaster thriller and the intimacy of a town obituary written in real time.Vivid, deeply researched, and grounded in the historical record, this is the story not only of how Heppner was destroyed, but of what endured after the water fell away. More than a century later, Oregon's deadliest natural disaster still feels shockingly close. Open this book, and step into the hour that changed a town forever. This item is printed on demand.
