Do you remember this happening?
I was wondering if anyone remembers this? I don't. I would have been a senior in highschool. I do think that it is pretty fascinating!

Re: Do you remember this happening?
I remember hearing my parents talk of this & I think I might have even seen it in the paper. However, I was 12 at the time & the news probably went in one ear & out the other.

Cool photo...thanks shellsmail!
Here's to it and here's to it again...if you get to it and don't do it...may you never get to it again!

I was 14 at the time. If I remember correctly 1979 was one of the Tombigbee flood years. Notice how high the water is on the Rooster Bridge. Sad...I miss that old rattle-trap bridge.
