On June 8, 1945, a flood ripped through the small Missouri town of Newburg. The town was hit with a seven foot high wall of water (some sources state it was actually ten feet) and did somewhere between $500,000 and $700,000 worth of damage-in 1945 money. That would be in excess of $8,000,000 today.
I’ve tried to get the details as accurate as possible. I’ve found a few different spellings of a couple of the names-I went with the ones that I thought was accurate.
