Beginning on Easter Sunday, March 23, 1913, torrential rains fell across the Midwest, dropping a record three months of rainfall in four days. Floodwater funneled down Ohio’s Miami Valley into the heart of the vibrant industrial city of Dayton. Levees burst, houses were swept away, and downtown was gutted by fires blazing from broken gas mains. At the end of Easter week, 123 Daytonians had perished, and tens of thousands more were left homeless and destitute—a tragedy that made banner headlines in newspapers nationwide. Out of Dayton’s ashes and mud rose fierce public resolve never to suffer such destruction again.
Presented by Jim Charters, a volunteer spokesperson for Dayton History and an interpretive guide at Carillon Park and Hawthorn Hill.
Recorded by Miami Valley Communications Council on March 18, 2025.
