Pueblo Flood documentary premieres Thursday
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) It was 100 years ago on June 3rd, 1921, that the city of Pueblo was struck with a flood that devastated the city and displaced thousands. Thursday, filmmakers are premiering a documentary detailing the experiences of people affected by that monumental flood.
The co-producer of the film is Samuel Ebersole, a former professor at CSU Pueblo. Samuel outlined the day-by-day experiences that people in Pueblo lived through during the natural disaster. The flood really was a multi-day event, said Ebersole. Second [day] there was flooding, the third there was the big flood. There was another small surge on the fifth, but it was really a horrific event in terms of the amount of destruction and damage that was done.
