One Saturday Morning (1976)

The Teton Dam collapsed on June 5, 1976, releasing 80 billion gallons of water and causing widespread destruction in the upper Snake River Valley. Residents faced the disaster with disbelief and urgency, evacuating homes as the floodwaters surged, resulting in significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and livestock. Relief efforts quickly mobilized, with local and state authorities working alongside community members to restore power, clear debris, and provide aid. Despite the devastation, the community demonstrated resilience and unity, determined to rebuild their lives and homes after the disaster.
