Shot on 8mm film in 1969, this vintage home movie captures a dramatic flood in Savage, Minnesota. The footage shows extensive water covering roads and fields, with submerged trees and a partially underwater bridge visible. In the distance, a grain elevator and buildings stand above the floodwaters. The scene is viewed from an elevated position, with bare trees in the foreground, suggesting late winter or early spring. The film exhibits characteristic Super 8 grain and color fading, offering authentic archival footage of a natural disaster.
