The Worst Floods in History
1931 Yangtze River Flood
Date: August 18, 1931
Location: China
Death Toll: Estimated 3.7 million
1887 Yellow River Flood
Date: September 28, 1887
Location: China
Death Toll: 900,000 - 2,000,000
1938 Yellow River Flood
Date: June 1938
Location: China
Death Toll: 500,000 - 800,000
1975 Banqiao Dam Failure
Date: August 8, 1975
Location: China
Death Toll: 171,000 - 230,000
The Banqiao dam, located on the Ru River, failed on the night of August 8th, 1975. A massive typhoon, one of the region's most powerful on record, dropped an unprecedented amount of rain on the area. There are reports that rain was coming down so hard that local birds were being killed mid-flight, littering the ground below with their corpses. The region received more rain in one day than they normally got in a year, and it proved too much for the Banqiao dam.
1935 Yangtze River Flood
Date: 1935
Location: China
Death Toll: 145,000
About 70 to 75 percent of China's floods are thanks to the Yangtze River, the longest river in country. The 1930s were a particularly hard time for the people living on the shores of the Yangtze, as the decade had seen two of the worst floods in human history. While not quite as severe as the 1931 flood, the terrors of that event were still fresh when the 1935 flood struck. Millions of people would suffer at the hands of the Yangtze, and at least 145,000 people lost their lives. Disease and famine followed the water and were responsible for much of the carnage.
1530 St. Felix's Flood
Date: November 5, 1530
Location: Holy Roman Empire (modern day city of Reimerswaal)
Death Toll: 100,000+
St. Felix's Flood is still considered the worst flood disaster in European history. The flood completely destroyed the Dutch city of Reimerswaal, which was part of the Holy Roman Empire at the time. A further 18 villages were also destroyed on the day that would eventually be known as "Evil Saturday." Reimerswaal stood slightly above sea level, so the flooding turned the city into an island. Over the years, repeated flooding eventually drove the few remaining stragglers out of the city for good. Today the city has gone the way of Atlantis, completely submerged in the sea. Where the city once stood is now home to a massive population of mussels, and a fishery industry has developed around them.
