The Falls were discovered in 1768. Before that they had never stopped flowing. However, this happened on March 29,1848. People could not believe it! They were so surprised that they all ran to the Falls. To their surprise, there was only the great cliff with no water going over it. Some people began to pray. Some people walked on the dry river bottom below.
Luckily, it took almost 30 hours for the water to start flowing again. Why did the water stop? High winds and heavy icebergs blocked off (阻挡) the water that comes from Lake Erie. When the wind changed and the water from Lake Erie flowed again, people could see the beautiful Falls once more.
