Description: Used in the "Extra! More local news" exhibition
To lighten up the misery caused by the greatest rainstorm and heaviest rainfall in Southern California history, Herald-Express photographer Coy Watson Jr. (left) and reporter Fred Eldridge attempt a boat expedition from Hyperion Ave. to Long Beach--a gay sidelight to the tragedy. This storm was the inducement to begin concrete channelization of the L.A. River.
