U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature for May 31

Profile America —Thursday, May 31st.  One of the worst disasters to hit the U.S. happened on this day in 1889 — the Johnstown, Pennsylvania flood. Heavy rains burst a nearby dam forming a lake for a fishing and hunting retreat.  When the dam broke, it unleashed 20 million tons of water in a giant wave that roared through Johnstown , killing more than 2,300 men, women and children, and destroying the homes of thousands more. The flood remains one of the nation's most costly, single weather-related disasters. Flooding is a constant threat. In the years from 2000 to 2010, a total of 694 people died in floods across the U.S. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov .
