1867 flood of Chattanooga : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1867 flood of Chattanooga
The 1867 flood of Chattanooga is the largest flood in the city's recorded history. The flood followed a period of heavy rain that affected most of the Tennessee Valley and lasted from March 7 to March 11, 1867. At its highest point, the water of the Tennessee River crested at 58 feet above its normal level, and it inundated much of the city. As a result of the flooding, Chattanooga's residents began to raise the city's street level by about one story. == Meteorology == The flood of 1867 took place before reliable methods of meteorological data recording. However, it is known that days prior to the flood, a large area of Southern Appalachia including Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia experienced a the same, large storm. The tremendous amounts of rainwater combined with the melting snow caused the tributaries and rivers of the Tennessee Valley to swell. In Chattanooga, the Tennessee River began to rise on March 4.
