Susquehanna Flood Forcing Lancaster Area Residents to Flee
Lancaster Pennsylvania residents along the Susquehanna between McCall’s Ferry dam and Washington borough prepare to evacuate as the river rises rapidly due to rain and a long ice jam. Water covers tracks and threatens rail bridges while rescuers help homeowners from upper floors. Safe Harbor faces water over banks to second-story windows, sending residents to higher ground. The Pequea junction sees two men rescued from a second-floor window as the trolley line and rail bridges are rendered inoperable.
