When an entire city of a million or more is flooded by 8-12 feet of water in the course of a few hours, all you can do is what was done -- use helicopters to pick people off roofs as quickly as possible.

You'd think a lot more boats would've been used, from the locals or the military. Maybe I don't think big enough, but my first thought wouldn't be to rescue people on a roof with a helicopter. Perhaps many victims of the 1927 flood died for lack of helicopters.
