This is two kodachrome 35mm color slides of the 1957 flood in Dallas Texas. The photos show Riverlake Country Club with the water level almost above the roof. It is cool to see the old cars and trucks.
This is a home movie of Dallas Texas in September of 1958. The film starts at an office of Magnolia Petroleum, the family then goes to the spillway at Whiterock Lake. Everyone then gets in the car and travel thru Dallas and you see Mohr Chevrolet and downtown Dallas with buildings and billboards.
The film box was marked Clarksville Texas, Donora Pennsylvania Family 1920’s. I would think this scene is more Pennsylvania than Texas. It sure looks like everyone enjoyed themselves racing around the dirt roads. I did enjoy watching the kids race around!

This video was shot during the Dallas Flood in April 1957 in and around Dallas Texas. It shows Riverlake Country Club in Dallas Tx and the Dallas Area. I find this funny because when I was a kid I played the golf course that some of the footage shows. I can relate to this footage because it was wet than too!
