SAINT PAUL MINNESOTA-1969: A dramatic aerial view captures a severe flood inundating a city street and industrial area. Muddy water covers roads, submerging utility poles and streetlights, with a levee holding back the rising waters. In the final frames, two people walk along the top of the levee near a large building and a parked truck, highlighting the scale of the disaster. Shot on 8mm film, this vintage footage shows the era's characteristic grain and color palette, offering a powerful historical record of urban flooding.
