Picture of the flooded bridge over the Kings River near Reedley, California, taken January 26, 1914. The Kings River had historic floods in 1914, 1951, and 1959, damaging buildings and killing animals. Flooding occurs when the tremendous amount of the melted snow from the Sierra flows into the river.
