1953-1-22 Grand Island Flood.jpeg
‘Business As Usual’ On Flooded Island January 22, 1953. Cattle stand in forlorn fashion about the new Frank Finnicum dairy barn on Grand Island while floodwaters inch closer. Milk was stored in a tank, then ferried into waiting trucks by motorboat. Finnicums made preparations to house and milk cows in the barn’s second story should water rise further.
