OC and the U.S. have a lot of history, and a lot of historical events, most of which is captured in various publications. Whether Clare Van Hoorbeke’s Colonists beating Orange High School 40-14 in October, 1953, or this
Account of the Santa Ana River flooding in 1938
we can look at and even discuss these events here. (The photos of the flood start on page four)...
the Santa Ana River flooded when my Dad was 11 and they lived on La Jolla Road, just east of what is now Placentia Ave.
all of the houses in the neighborhood were swept off their foundations except my grandparents house. My grandfather was a very clever man and, when he saw the waters increasing, he built saw horses and lifted all the furniture up off the floor onto them. He then opened the doors and windows so the flood would flow through the house and not move the house...
of course, when they returned, they still had a mess to clean up, but the house still stood.
what historical publications can you find?
