Movies: the flood of 1938 (Orange County)
From Orange County Archives' photostream:
● 1938 flood at Olive
Traveling north on the 55, Olive hill is the last (and only!) hill on the left--just before one encounters the 91 and Santa Ana Canyon.
● 1938 flood at Atwood (a section of Anaheim), California
"The great flood of 1938 damaged many Orange County communities, but it struck hardest in the largely Mexican-American communities of Atwood and La Jolla. Most of the deaths caused by the flood came from this area, near the spot where the Santa Ana River initially broke through its banks. The Atwood area is now part of the City of Anaheim." [Or Placentia?]
