If you think water drenched Ada over the weekend take a moment to consider the famous flood of 1913.

The Icon found six Ada photos in the Ada Public Library photo archives that you'll never believe.

The photos show Ada in 1913. You'll see water cover Main Street, Gilbert Street and a couple streets that maybe you can identify.

According to Ohio History Central:

The Flood of 1913 is known as the greatest natural disaster in Ohio history. Although rivers in Ohio tended to flood every spring, heavy rains in March 1913 exacerbated the flood conditions.

Most communities located along rivers in the state experienced flooding, even those that had not had problems in the past. The most severe flooding occurred along the Great Miami River, and the conditions in Dayton were particularly bad.

In some parts of the state, officials chose to dynamite canal locks in an attempt to alleviate flooding. By the early twentieth century, few canals were still in operation in Ohio, but the destruction of the locks ensured the permanent end to canal transportation.
