Summary
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Francis_Dam" class="extiw" title="en:St. Francis Dam">St. Francis Dam</a> Flood March 12-13, 1928, Los Angeles County, California. Taken from the same location as <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_St._Francis_Dam.jpg" title="File:The St. Francis Dam.jpg">photo sht00664</a>, showing the remains of the dam and reservoir floor. The dam failed at 11:58 p.m. Monday March 12, 1928, according to the water storage recorder on the dam. 20 minutes prior to that time, the water was slowly dropping in the reservoir indicating that leakage was increasing. The flood destroyed the power house about 1 mile below the dam at 12:04 a.m. March 13, 1928. The left (west) abutment of the dam was entirely swept away. Contact of schist and conglomerate is clearly shown.
