The 1936 Flood in Lewisburg

The 1936 Flood In Lewisburg Pa

In March of 1936, 3 days of floods caused 175 death throughout Pennsylvania, and caused more than half a billion dollars in damage. The 1936 St Patricks Day Floods remain on the list of the worst floods to ever occur in the Susquehanna River Valley.

The river flooded over Lewisburg almost to Fairground Road.

There is a video online with a title image saying it is from the1936 flood in Lewisburg..  but I don't think so. POSSIBLY colorized footage of 1946?
