Also there was apparently a random *barbed wire factory* in town that did a lot of slicing and dicing once the meatbag-filled waters were running past it. Real Event Horizon shit.

If you visit Johnstown, there's an old church near the town center that stood up to the flood while surrounding buildings got washed away. |

lol at that compared to libs trying to blame the TX flood on Drumpf and Elon.
