Nancy Jesuale, the producer, was living in Johnstown at the time of the third Johnstown Flood in less than a century. She lived within the flood area. One of her porta-pak cameras was washed away in the flood, but another camera had been loaned to a friend who lived on higher ground. When she was able to get her second camera, she began shooting 1/2" B&W videotape of the flood scenes around her. Beginning approx. 12 hours after the flood struck, she taped damage and interviews with residents throughout the flooded area for three weeks. This program is edited from those tapes. Whitewater PA - The program examines the various rivers and streams in Pennsylvania where whitewater boating is possible. The areas are rated for their degree of difficulty. Safety procedures are described for either canoeing or kayaking. Information is included with the names of many boating clubs in Pennsylvania where interested viewers may go for more information or boating lessons. The program also shows national championship caliber whitewater slalom racing held several years ago on the Youghiogheny River near Uniontown.
