Wash floodwaters sweep Marion area cars toward danger
Rodgers described a car swept sideways down a grade into Park Court and capsizing as water rose rapidly. Dr. George OBrien and his wife faced a wall of water on Third avenue and Park Court, with their convertible hull damaged. Residents and tow crews across Mt. Vernon road and Second Avenue reported cars washed into ditches and depictions of a city flooded.
