Flooded Potomac and Wills Creek Cause Wide Damage
After 48 hours of rain the Potomac and Wills Creek overflowed, washing away fences and docks, flooding streets and club grounds, and damaging crops along the river. The Market Street bridge area suffered structural impacts as a large beam crashed into the German Brewing Company building. The pedestrian bridge near Market Street was swept away, delaying bridge work and forcing rail lines to contend with washouts. Railroads report lines tied up and landslides affecting Western Maryland and B&O lines as waters recede slowly and authorities guard public safety.
