PORTSMOUTH, OH: MARCH 29, 1913 – For more than a week, the city was flooded as water poured over concrete flood walls and earthwork embankments. More than eight feet of water filled the streets when a series of fires ignited in separate sections of the city. Firemen had the difficult, if not impossible job of fighting fires in these deep waters.
