On June 5th, 1976, 80 billion gallons of water surged from the broken walls of the Teton Dam. Floodwaters continued for over 100 miles for 3 straight days. In the path, there was devastation of land, livestock, and livelihoods. The flood claimed 11 lives and caused significant loss of property. Despite the overwhelming devastation, the community's response demonstrated remarkable resilience and unity, laying the foundation for a spirit of recovery that continues to inspire today; neighbors helping neighbors, coming together to rebuild homes, lives, and hope in the aftermath of disaster.
