	Dry Falls a wonder, despite lack of water
		Bretz concluded Dry Falls formed when a torrent of ice and water poured out of the region that is now Western Montana during the ice age.

		Dry Falls began near Soap Lake to the south and also ate away the landscape until it reached its current site.

		The eroding power of the water plucked pieces of basalt rock from the precipice, causing the falls to eventually retreat 20 miles and self-destruct by cutting through to the valley of the Columbia near what is now the Grand Coulee Dam.
		As in the Upper Coulee, the raging river plucked the basalt from the face of the falls causing the falls eventually to retreat to present location.
		Today the traveler sees numerous coulees and small lakes as well as the giant precipice of Dry Falls, all of which are reminders of the raging torrent that once occupied this area.

	The Weather Doctor
		Although Niagara Falls does not have a major influence on the weather away from the Niagara River Gorge, there is always much for the avid sky and weather watcher to see at the Falls.
		Soon too, the Welland River which receives its waters upstream of the Falls was reduced to a freshlet and the water wheels at factories and flour mills ground to a halt.
		The eerie event (after all, the water normally plunging over the Falls comes from Lake Erie) was so overpowering in magnitude that decades later, eye-witnesses to the event were asked to sign declarations swearing to their presence there.

	Niagara Falls - Dewatered American Falls
		Cliff Spieler of the Niagara Falls Gazette thought it would be a good idea for a series of articles to be written about the imminent “death” of the American Falls.
		The talus at the base of the American Falls is estimated by engineers at 358,000 tons (280,000 cubic yards) with the talus reaching 135 feet (41M) high in places reducing the water fall from 100 feet (30m) to a mere 45 feet (13.7M).
		The talus was accumulated as a result of major rock falls in January 1931, July 1954 and December 1959 which cumulatively deposited approximately 130,000 cubic feet of talus at the base of the American Falls.
