And you think we have trouble:
The swollen Susquehanna and Delaware Rivers in Pennsylvania were filled with pumpkins that had been washed away from nearby fields. It was thereafter known as “the Pumpkin Flood.”– 1786
Google the Boston Great Molasses Flood ...at least 6 people killed and many more got stuck
I am thinking I would rather fight of loose pumkins than wild molasses. Thanks for the info, Anne,
