Johnstown after the flood, Johnstown Flood National Memorial, 1889.

Destruction in Johnstown after the flood. "It was nearly morning [June 1, 1889] when the strange quiet began… but in the last chill hour before light, the valley seemed to hang suspended in an unearthly stillness, almost as unnerving in its way as everything else that had happened... about five the first dim shapes began emerging from the darkness. But even by six very little stood out in detail. There were no shadows, no clear edges to anything." McCullough, 'The Johnstown Flood', page 183.
