Aerial view of flood areas in Carson as a result of the January 26, 1956 storm view is the vicinity of Avalon Boulevard and 190th Street (near the present site of Cal State University, Dominguez Hills). A muddy lake of varying depths submerged a two-block-long stretch and many persons were forced from their homes as the floodwaters raged through certain parts of the city, making it impassable. Photograph dated January 28, 1956. The point was determined by historicaerials, but could not be found.
