Fast fading in the memor-
ies of the local citizens is the
impact of the storm Agnes,
now marking its third
anniversary since striking
vast areas in Pennsylvania.
Scars of the flood still
remain but most persons
have reoccupied or relocated
in homes in which they hope
are never to be invaded
again by flood waters.
It all began Wednesday |
morning in that ill-faded
year of June 1972 when rain
began falling on the eastern
area of Pennsylvania, es-
pecially in the Susquehanna
Valley. As the day
progressed so did the
rainfall. By noon, several
inches could be measured.
At nightfall, some warnings
of possible floodings were
predicted. After the second
day of continued deluge,
streams and tributaries of
the Susquehanna were swol-
len to bank level. With
surface water draining from
all directions into cellars,
many old timers along the
river started to move house-
hold items to second floor
levels.
As the waters came
higher and higher, trains
were delayed, phone service
was interrupted and with
floating debris came rumors
of greater catastrophies.
The rumors caused greater
anxieties among already
threatened victims of the
flood waters.
By Friday, the waters of
SUSQUEHANNA BULLETIN — Page 15
It’s been 3 years since Agnes rolled over us
the Susquehanna had leap-
ed their banks and were
rising to depths which
exceeded any former flood
in this century.
Humans are geared to
accept reality and as the
waters receded the citizens
who suffered fewer dam-
ages began to hose and
scrub in order to right the
situation. However, in
homes which were hit
harder, the government saw
fit to inspect each structure
prior to its being reinhab-
ited. This caused hardships
for victimes who had been
sheltered by relatives or
friends.Jobs were interrup-
ted, which caused additional
troubles for those already
overburdened by the rava-
ges of ‘‘Agnes.”’
The government provided
temporary housing loans at
a minimum of interest for
those victims who had to
re-establish their homes or
businesses.
Government funds also
helped clear streams and
areas neighboring the
water-swept paths of debris
and litter left in the wake of
the disaster.
Victims have recovered
from that misfortune of
‘72’ and in three short
years have made the neces-
sary changes to erase the
traces which accompanies a
disaster of this volume. But
with the excessive moisture
many foundation walls were
weakened and structures
were condemmed until
made safe for habitation.
