Title

A 1915 Ford Model T in the New Sharon Flood, circa 1915

Description

This photograph of a 1915 Ford Model T stuck in the middle of a flood in New Sharon, Iowa, depicts how vulnerable people are to the forces of nature. Even with advanced sewage systems and technology today, people just cannot compete with mother nature. Mahaska County has experienced more than its fair share of floods over the decades, thanks to the two rivers that flow through its boundaries: The South Skunk River and the Des Moines River.
