Stratton's Survival: the Nelson County Flood of 1969
In this project Lindsay Woodson interviewed Robert A. Stratton about his experiences during the Nelson County flood of August, 1969. The flood was the result of Hurricane Camille, which came through the area and got stuck in the mountains. Torrential rain caused more than 27 inches of rain to gather in a period of eight hours causing flash floods, mudslides, and debris to be strewn across the county. Catastrophic flooding and long term power outages in addition to road travel being reduced or eliminated made survival in certain areas a struggle. Mr. Stratton talks of the floods and how his family survived. The family had canned foods in their house and were able to survive from eating those and cooking on a woodstove for the approximately one month they were without power and telephone.
