In June of 1972, I experienced first-hand the devastation of Hurricane Agnes in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
During that summer flood, I saw the covered bridge at Pine Town and the second covered bridge at Hunsecker carried away by the raging Conestoga River.
I had not heard of the great flooding that occurred in the city of York in August of 1933.
As occurred almost 40 years later, the Chesapeake-Potomac Hurricane of 1933 brought 13-17 inches of rainfall to York County, 5 inches falling in a very brief period of time.
The Codorus Creek overflowed, inundating parts of the city.
At an antique mall, I found a commemorative photograph folder that was printed soon after this event.
The folder contains a dozen photographs; I separated and scanned three of the shots here.
