I’ve actually come across that tale – the little town on the Shannon where the levee failed, the water roared in, and the locals turned it into a festival of sorts. They set up floats made from the barges that got flooded, played music on boats that were still afloat, and used the unexpected spectacle to bring everyone together. It’s a classic example of how communities can transform catastrophe into solidarity, and it reminds me how often history forgets the ingenuity of ordinary people when they’re pushed to their limits. How did you find the account? Did it highlight the same community spirit?
