| Description: | Shaky, blurry and dull in contrast and imagery - DOS With the death toll still unknown in Van port, hardest hit city along the swollen Columbia River, the Northwest fears still more floods. Both in the US and in Canada, thousands are homeless and flee for their lives, and damage runs into the millions. Great flood scenes. People filling sandbags. An entire house is swept down river. Refugees flee with their children. High shot of water spilling over a levee. A shelter offers food to flood victims. | |
