A severe cloudburst drenched the Potomac River and Middletown Valleys with nearly four inches of rain in 12 hours starting Sunday at 3:30 PM. The Hood River area reported rapid flooding, with thousands of dollars in damage to crops, property, and highways as communications remained crippled. Eyewitnesses described a low, ominous black cloud and a wall of water that turned rivulets into torrents, sweeping wheat, leveling corn, and causing vehicles to vanish in the flood. A group dining at Leroy Ruth’s clubhouse escaped just as the stream rose and swept the building away. Six cars at an Eagles picnic near Blackford’s Landing were carried away and wrecked, with others missing in the canal bed. Estimated losses included cash in suitcases and extensive property damage.
