(KEARNEY HUB) The Kearney Hub reports, "History along the Republican River Valley was forever split into two time frames by the devastating flood on Memorial Weekend 1935.
'This was really the hinge upon which the country here changed,' said Joy Hayden, administrative assistant with the National Weather Service in Goodland, Kan. 'People talked about their lives as before the flood and after the flood. It was like a door had opened and the past was before the flood, and the future is after the flood.'
Hayden spoke Tuesday in Holdrege at the Phelps County Historical Society’s annual meeting. The 75th anniversary of the terrible flood is May 30 and into the early days of June."
