The "Great Flood," summer of 1957(?)
Tripps Run (Oak Street Creek) running under Sherrow Ave. near intersection with W. Cameron Rd.
Oak Street (as seen from Oak Street School) has been totally flooded. The bridge across the creek in just this side of the car's headlights.
A flood fairy moves to the left of the garbage cans in Malcolm Carpenter's back yard.
The flood fairy has stolen Malcolm's shoes. She causes a small tree to spring up in the yard.
Bill Graham photographs the damage at Falls Church Motors (Dodge/Plymouth) on Lee Highway.
Later, Bill Graham changes the oil in his camera at the Texaco station. Note, a telephone booth!
