For ages 7-11.
Christina Berwind and her family live in Johnstown. When the rains came, the dam that held Lake Conemaugh burst, unleashing a wall of water 125 feet high and rushing down the narrow valley at 50 miles an hour toward the town.
The warning -- The pelting -- The bursting -- The raging -- The bringing -- The naming -- The waiting.
