A warehouse on Elm Street in Cincinnati, Ohio, stands in floodwater in this view looking north. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information written by the Bain News Service that has not been independently verified. Cincinnati sat on the Ohio River and suffered repeated floods, the most severe in 1937, so the scene likely dates to one of those high-water periods. Bain's agency sold news photographs to newspapers, so pictures like this were meant to show a timely event to readers.
