Default When Niagara Falls ran dry? .... How many remember this?
In 1969, in order to work on the cliff and the base of the cliff, the water was diverted to the Canadian side for a period of months.

I was 19 at the time and have no memory of this. Maybe the fact that I was being deployed to Viet Nam had something to do with it, but I can't believe that this is the first time I've read a story about this event, complete with never before published photos.

How many TOTV'ers know about and have a story to tell in relation to this historic time when after over 12,000 years, the water stopped?

I'm guessing those who lived closer to the falls than me have recollections.
