SAINT PAUL MINNESOTA-1969: A flooded street scene captured on 8mm film, showing a partially submerged speed limit sign in turbulent water next to a railway track. The murky brown floodwaters rise high, with a utility wire crossing the frame. The clip transitions to a vintage helicopter flying against a pale blue sky, its silhouette visible in the distance. Shot on 8mm film, this archival footage captures a dramatic natural disaster with authentic grain and color palette from the late 1960s.
