This flood was caused by a combination of heavy rain and rapid snowmelt, which led to the rivers in the region, including the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers, rising to record levels. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the floodwaters reached a height of 46 feet, well above the flood stage of 25 feet. The flood caused extensive damage throughout the region. Thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed, infrastructure was severely damaged, and numerous lives were lost. In Pittsburgh alone, over 100,000 people were left homeless. The flood also had significant long-term impacts. It led to major changes in flood control policy, including the construction of reservoirs and floodwalls to prevent similar disasters in the future. The flood also prompted the creation of the Flood Control Act of 1936, which recognized flood control as a proper activity of the federal government. The Great Flood of 1936 remains one of the most significant natural disasters in the history of the Tri-State area. Its impacts are still remembered and studied today, particularly in the context of disaster management and flood control policy." ?Bing. / Floods -- Ohio -- Pictorial works.
