Описание к видео Johnstown, Pa.'s second 'great flood' hit in 1977

The second "great flood" to hit Johnstown, Pa., happened on July 20, 1977. It was, however, the third flood to devastate the town in Cambria Count. The first, in 1889, killed more than 2,000 people; the second, in 1936, killed two dozen people; and the 1977 flood killed 84 people. In 1977, after nearly 12 inches of rain fell in 10 hours, five dams failed, inundating the area with millions of gallons of water. (Video by Deb Kiner/PennLive)
