One hundred years ago this week, the nation suffered its most widespread flood ever-1000 people were killed, and hundreds of thousands of homes were destroyed throughout fourteen states. In this hour, All Sides will take a close look at the aftermath of the 1913 disaster, the origins of our modern flood-control systems, and in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, explore what's changed, and what hasn't.
Guests:
Geoff Williams, author of Washed Away: How the Great Flood of 1913, America's Most Widespread Natural Disaster, Terrorized a Nation and Changed it Forever.
