[It could be argued that the Johnstown flood of 1889 wasn't a natural disaster at all, but the inevitable consequence of humans thinking they could control nature. Whatever the cause, the day after a dam burst, unleashing 20 million tons of water on the residents of Johnstown, Pa., and its neighboring boroughs, the area looked like] a vast sea of muck and rubble and filthy water, ... The Johnstown Flood.

David McCullough

Their cats were filthy with muck from the flood waters. The water came from the Napa River which has a lot of waste in it, everything from bacteria to sewage. You name it, and the cats were covered with it. It was really nasty. If they remained in that condition for any period of time, they could have become very sick.

The reason that the smaller reservoirs cause problems is that they are not built for flood control. We don't have large flood gates to release water rapidly between storms. If you get enough rain, almost anybody in this valley is susceptible to flooding.

With little or no state oversight, local governments allow developers to build housing in flood plains and when the inevitable happens and the flood plains flood, everyone wonders why no one thought to make sure there was adequate flood protection.

Johnstown welcomed us with open arms. We've had so many compliments.

We put in some different looks, it was something we just put in before the Johnstown game. It broke up their rhythm a little, and we did a good job boxing out.

It crashed so close, it could have hit Johnstown - but it's part of the whole nation's history.

We were shocked getting to play at Johnstown in the first round, but I don't see it as an advantage. We're just excited to be this far.

Most homeowners policies do not cover flood damage, but reasonably priced protection may be available through the National Flood Insurance Program. Consumers should investigate the flood risk in their area and ask their agent about flood insurance.
