Pennsylvania Family Takes Refuge in Va
A Pennsylvania family fled Mount Wolf last Friday with no luggage and headed south as high winds guided their ride. They found refuge in Richmond at the home of Martha and George Hodges, relatives of Bill Zimmerman. The family plans to stay only until week’s end while Zimmerman hopes to return to York where he works at Wolf Supply Co. An accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant nearby prompted the hurried move.
