St. Joseph News-Press Metro/Region Flood, July 24, 1993
Rosendale hit with 500-year flood--twice. Picture: workers tried furiously to keep the airport road open Friday, as flooding from Browning Lake threatened to spill over previous sandbagging efforts.
Picture of Gabe Crabtree floating into the entrance of his business. Crabtree Trenching and Backhoe, in downtown Pattonsburg as the water from the Grand River rose Friday. Evacuation began about 3:30 a.m. and many of the towns streets were underwater by noon.
Picture: Greg Thogmartain prepared to lift his son Levi into a tractor driven by David Potter as they were evacuating their home in Rosendale on Friday. Standing in the door of the tractor is Allison Thogmatrin, holding the jacket is Elton Heckman.
City's water supply remains completely safe.
