This article needs sections pretty badly and inter-wiki links would be nice. I will work on it as much as possible when I have time, but any help is always appreciated. -- Maelnuneb ( Talk) 22:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
The entire text of this article was taken from two separate articles on the Ohio History Central website listed in the external links area. I discovered this after making some reformatting changes and added external links. I can't spend much more time on this article tonight, but will return very soon to rewrite the entire article now that I've found this plagerism. CRKingston 10:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I've just updated this article based on research. It's rewritten to avoid the copyright violation, and the facts have sources, along with an extensive list of references.

This flood extended over much of Indiana and Ohio, and devastated other major cities. Should we expand this article to cover the damage in other cities, or should we create a new article on the broader flood? Mingusboodle ( talk) 03:59, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Documentation is of course, essential, and I wish I could back this up: The Great "Dayton" Flood became so well known in 1913 because Dayton OH was a major node for the railroad and the telegraph/telephone lines that were planted alongside the tracks. Word of the Flood got out quickly and broadly because the communication system was so far-reaching and effective. Sadly, I can't tell you where I learned that info, perhaps it was from the local public TV documentary some years back. Yes, floods were elsewhere too at the time, but the word just wasn't getting out so much for those places. Moreover, early estimates of flood deaths in Dayton were estimated to be in the thousands, which must have put Dayton on the front page of the newspapers across the country. But even if we discount the exaggerations and an extremely effective delivery of the message, the "Dayton flood" remains a unique and important story. Many developments of substance occurred: 1) the devastating fires that followed; 2) extensive photographic images, including time-lapse photos; 2) the San Francisco World's Fair (Panama-Pacific Public Exhibition) which included Dayton Flood exhibits; 3) the birth of the City-manager Form of Government as NCR temporarily headed the city's rescue efforts, 4) the expansion of still-controversial non-elected governmental super-entities with the rise of Arthur Morgan of the Miami Conservancy District (and their clones across the country) and his subsequent heading the nascent Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Taken altogether, these components make the Great Dayton Flood a rich and unique story with an integrity of its own, and a important part of American History. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daytoncapri ( talk • contribs) 17:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
The second and third sentences of the lede read
"Ohio passed the Vonderheide Act to allow the Ohio state government to form the Miami Conservancy District, one of the first major flood control districts in Ohio and the United States. This also inflicted a domino series of events, resulting in a further disruption."
However nothing in the article indicates that the Vonderheide Act caused further disruption. I think something is wrong here. Maybe these two sentences are in the wrong order? Maproom ( talk) 08:19, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
