American Floods (1914-1918)

American Floods. United States of America. Bizarre; surreal shot: a train moving through water toward camera; along a flooded street. Shop on side etc. Smoke coming from locomotive. CU diag as train passes. Obviously the water is not very high; but still looks weird. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
