Flood washes through hollow near Bandmill impoundment
A flash flood from a small impoundment roared down a hollow near Bandmill, washing cars and destroying at least one house as residents fled uphill. Gov. Wise toured the area with officials while Bandmill pledged hotel housing and rental assistance for the displaced. DEP secretary Callaghan noted the structure appears stable and rains may ease.
