Shot on 8mm film in 1969, this vintage home movie captures a dramatic flood in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The camera pans across a submerged urban landscape, showing train tracks running alongside a swollen river, with buildings and streetlights partially underwater. A small white house stands isolated in the floodwaters, while a distant bridge and power lines frame the scene. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, faded colors, and a nostalgic, documentary-style perspective, offering a rare glimpse of a historic natural disaster in a midwestern city.
