We had this tropical storm called Agnes hit the Mid-Atlantic back in 1972.

Most folks around here will never forget it ~ thing rained constantly flooding places that hadn't been flooded since Noah.

Tore out huge steal bridges and made them disappear in the depths of Chesapeake Bay. Scoured new channels for the Potomac. Destroyed houses.

I lived in the top of an apartment building that developed roof leaks! Didn't have enough pots and pans.

A tropical storm can be far worse than a hurricane.

Agnes obliterated parts of Northeast PA. We've had record rain in August in Southeast Pa before this storm. I hope this thing is overrated.
