Floods Along Bronx River Remain Fresh In Local Memory
The twenty fourth anniversary of the blizzard recalled by heavy rains caused Bronx River floods. Six inches of rain in ten hours overwhelmed lowlands from Bronxville to Searsdale, submerging DeWitt Avenue and homes on Paxton and Front Avenues. Bridges washed away, horses and dogs drifted, and factories closed as water rose over four feet in meadows near Gramatan stables.
