The most destructive flood in US history occurred in 1927 along the Mississippi River. It flooded 27,000 square miles and left 600,000 people homeless.

Another flood in 1927 was the most destructive in Vermont history. It destroyed 1,285 bridges and killed the Lt. Governor.

These floods were thousands of times larger than the biblical flood in Ellicott City, MD last week – which the National Weather Service of course blamed on global warming.
