Overview
In 1980, a record-breaking thunderstorm unleashed a disastrous amount of water on the tiny town of Brady’s Bend.
In a mere forty minutes, the community was annihilated by a catastrophic flash flood. Residents ran for their lives and nine people drowned. Though rescue and recovery soon followed, the harrowing experience left a mark on the survivors that remains decades later.
Author and Brady’s Bend native Lisa Olszak Zumstein tells this community’s story in full and reveals how this devastating storm mirrors numerous others in the Appalachian corridor.
