SAINT PAUL MINNESOTA-1969: Vintage 8mm film captures a dramatic river flood, with murky water submerging streetlights and road signs. A concrete bridge spans the swollen river, its supports partially underwater, while a distant shoreline with trees and buildings remains visible. The footage, shot from a high vantage point, shows the extent of the flooding in a residential area, with a brick building and a large boulder in the foreground. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 home movie evokes a sense of historical urgency and nostalgia, documenting a significant weather event in the late 1960s.
