Rain swollen Big Creek a reminder of grim Gradyville Flood Remembers sitting in Columbia Best Western, elated at having found their little farm for sale, and typing in "Gradyville, KY," on ColumbiaMagazine.com to read the tragic story of June 7, 1907. Now a resident of Big Creek Valley, she found, on Monday, February 28, 2011, how quickly this beautiful, meandering stream, can rise to dangerous levels. Click on headline for story plus photos. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. -Edmund Burke By Sharon Whitehurst A stormy day is traditionally a time to stay at home, create comfort food, get on with those projects that are typically put off for a "rainy day." We were feeling restless and decided to go in search of several "For Sale" properties in Adair County, as we expect our daughter and her family to be moving to the area. We had to make detours due to flooded roads and for a bit even Jim wasn't too sure where we were headed, while I was, as usual, completely lost. It is just a year ago this week that I sat one evening in the Columbia Best Western elated that we had discovered this little farm for sale. I typed "Gradyville, KY" into the search engine of our laptop and spent the next hour reading through the archived stories of the Gradyville Flood as published by CM. Today, seeing the brown waters roiling past the Old Gradyville church toward the "island" where homes were swept from their foundations carrying Gradyville families to their deaths, it was not difficult to imagine how quickly these meandering creeks can rise to dangerous levels.
