Johnstown Flood

A thorough study and detailed explanation of the Johnstown flood by McCullough on May 31, 1889 provides a discussion on why disasters are both "human work" and "visit of God". But it is clear that McCullough believes that humans are more responsible than nature and God in the range of disasters. McCullough considers that the storm that caused the flood is only an inevitable stimulus of the disaster, the main reason why Johnstown was destroyed in 1889 was the lack of dam maintenance and repair and the failure to repair.

History supports this hypothesis - terrible Johnstown flooding occurred on May 31, 1889, 2,200 people died. The Johnstown flood of 1936 and another Johnstown flood of 1977 occurred at the time of the solar minimum. When the thunderstorm stagnated in this area in 1977, nearly 12 inches of rainfall fell within 24 hours. However, these phenomena are not limited to North America and Canada.
