  "title": "St. Francis Dam: dated events and the flood timeline from the 1928 report",
  "description": "Dated events from the start of construction in 1924 to the public release of the commission's report on 20 April 1928, with the flood's arrival times on the night of 12 to 13 March 1928. One row per event: date, clock time where the report gives one, place, and for the flood rows the miles and minutes from the previous point and the speed as printed in the report's table of velocities (page 8). Miles from the dam are the sum of the report's legs; days after the failure are counted two ways (calendar dates and day numbers). The qualifier column notes where the report itself doubts a time, such as the water register's clock.",
