SAINT PAUL MINNESOTA-1969: A vintage 8mm home movie captures a severe flood in Saint Paul, with high water levels submerging the riverbank. Sandbags line the edge of the flooded area, forming a makeshift barrier against the rising water. In the background, a large industrial building and a steel truss bridge are visible, with the river's surface reflecting the overcast sky. The footage, shot on 8mm film, shows a quiet, tense moment of urban flooding, with the water's edge reaching close to the base of the structures. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 film adds to the historical and nostalgic atmosphere of this archival footage.
