Creator

Jeff Stanford
Description
An account of the resource
In late June 1972, a tropical storm named Agnes crept its way up the eastern United States. When Agnes arrived in Northeastern Pennsylvania, it stopped moving and poured trillions of gallons of water onto the area. This caused major flooding along the Susquehanna River. Over 40 feet of water overtook the dike and sandbags that had been placed. Flooding in Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding area was catosrophic resulting in a new landscape in some areas. Houses were damaged or destroyed, a cemetery was torn apart and a hospital was evacuated. These are just some of the examples of the flood devastation, which caused $2 trillion of damage.

Mud after the Flood

An account of the resource
Once the water receded it left mud everywhere. People shoveled mud from their basements and the streets. On hot days, the mud would dry and get into the air making a haze. Here mud-covered cars are parked. Note the debris visible on the street in the background.

In late June 1972, a tropical storm named Agnes crept its way up the eastern United States. When Agnes arrived in Northeastern Pennsylvania, it stopped moving and poured trillions of gallons of water onto the area. This caused major flooding along the Susquehanna River. Over 40 feet of water overtook the dike and sandbags that had been placed. Flooding in Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding area was catosrophic resulting in a new landscape in some areas. Houses were damaged or destroyed, a cemetery was torn apart and a hospital was evacuated. These are just some of the examples of the flood devastation, which caused $2 trillion of damage.
