Fear Disease at Austin Pa After Flood Toll
Austin Pennsylvania recounts a flood disaster with early estimates of 106 dead and 85 missing. Census teams catalogued 84 families affected as nurses distributed aid from a jammed Odd Fellows hall while officials warn residents about contaminated water. Fire fanned from wreckage as morgues, courts, and a bank site outline a town devastated by the surge.
