CLENDENIN FLOODS
JAN 2026
This month we reflect on the floods of 1918 and 2016 in the town of Clendenin. The first photo is what is now the SaveA-Lot parking lot property back in 1918. The second photo with the beloved Dairy Queen sign is the same location in 2016.

Arlene Furby remembers her grandmother talking about the1918 flood (her grandmother would have been 14 years old at the time). Jo Staats reflected on the 2016 photo: Heartbreaking to see all of the damage, but seeing the iconic Dairy Queen underwater is shattering.
