Floods hit Harrisburg as 4 million in damage feared
Harrisburg faces its worst flood in 71 years with 74 businesses reporting more than 4 million in flood losses. Mayor Valerie Mitchell declared a state of emergency and invited federal aid as remains of the city struggle with impassable streets and limited hospital access. Shelters opened for evacuees and Red Cross aid centers set up while volunteers rally to assist. Sandbagging and evacuations extend to nearby areas as rainfall totals of 10 to 12 inches drive response.
