    A black-and-white archival photograph showing a flooded urban street with water flowing across the roadway. Two vintage automobiles from approximately the late 1930s are parked along the curb, partially submerged in floodwater. A large institutional or residential brick building with columns is visible on the left, with residential structures lining the street in the background.
    An elevated black-and-white photograph showing a small town experiencing significant flooding, with a river or floodwaters inundating low-lying areas between the camera position and the residential district. Multiple utility/power lines cross diagonally through the foreground of the frame. The town is set in a valley surrounded by wooded hills, with bare deciduous trees suggesting late autumn, winter, or early spring timing.
