PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Many Pittsburghers may know of our City's worst flood, the Great St. Patrick's Flood of 1936, but one much more devastating seems to have washed away from people's memories as quickly as it occurred - the Butcher's Run Flood of 1874.According to the New York Times report of the scene, the flood that inundated Butcher's Run in old Allegheny City (today's North Side) was said to have killed at least 200. There were harrowing tales of survival and tragic mentions on unbearable loss.In this episode of the Pittsburgh Oddcast, we share some amazing & memorable eye-witness accounts of the devastation our City experienced during both floods and explore why it is important for us to remember and never forget these tales from our past.#ThatsItFortPitt
