Looking right to left at upper end of oxidation pond; note buried auto.

Damaged house trailer and auto at water pipe line.

Looking upstream from possible site for critical flow section.

Looking left to right at trailer park, high velocity area. Note horizontal trees. This is where many deaths occurred.

Garage damaged on right bank of main channel. Concrete-block building was moved off of foundation. Downstream end of foundation on left side of picture.

Same garage and slab as in previous slide. Concrete-block building was moved from its foundation.
