Subject: We'll just wait it out
After a brief yahoo over the LA skyline, we cut to some great footage of a flood that hit LA. Massive amounts of water cover the streets. The usual abandoned vehicles, people in boats, stranded (or maybe they're just waiting it out?) and other usual shots. But this is quite well photographed.

Subject: Great Historical footage
Great Historical footage. I am having problems uploading it to my files to share with the Long Beach Historical Society. It is difficult to determine in which cities the scenes portary.
