Copyright 1997 The Family Channel. "Flood: A River's Rampage" is the story of Belfield, Mo. Picturesque and full of history, Belfield was the epitome of small town America. A town where family histories go back centuries and the pharmacist doubles as the mayor. A town where Herb Dellenbach planned on marrying his true love, Pat Malloy, until she left him for the draw of the big city. Still young, Herb eventually married, and although his wife Joan passed away, he has his farm, two beautiful daughters, and the people of Belfield to keep him happy. The summer of 1993 threatened to destroy all that Herb held so dear. In April, 1993 the rain began to fall. In July, it was still raining, only now the ground was saturated, and the Mississippi River was overflowing. It rampaged over farms, homes and people, destroying more than any other flood in American history. Pat, now a U.S. Army Engineer, returns to the town of her past in hopes of saving it. Working side by side, Pat and Herb inspire the families of Belfield to band together and defeat the river's rage -- and in the process rekindle the love that once raged between them. |

| "Flood: A River's Rampage was directed by Bruce Pittman who directed Harrison Bergeron and at least one episode of Forever Knight, so we knew each other well. I was amazed when I saw the finished product at how realistic it looked. Incredible when you realise most of the flooding was filmed in a park in Mississauga, nowhere near any water. I was very happy to be working with the lovely Kate Vernon again. We had worked together on Soft Deceit. All in all it was an enjoyable experience, except for the scenes in the rain.There's nothing worse than cold water seeping down the back of your neck in the middle of the night, and not being able to do anything about it!" |
