Rescue Boat during the Yuba City Flood, Dec. 24, 1955 Photograph by Floyd Winters Courtesy Sutter County Library In the wake of the Yuba City Flood, rescue workers mobilized to find and retrieve stranded community members. Here, a rescue boat picks up survivors of the flood. The man in the back of the boat cradles a small, blanketed bundle, perhaps a baby or a pet.
