River Floods Rise on Rt 50 and Nearby Crossings Near Winchester
An earth slide on Route 50 near Winchester blocked the road as about 800 cubic yards of soil slid onto the highway. Opequon Creek flooded low bridges along routes 761 and Back Creek crossings at DeHaven and Gore while river levels rose across Front Royal, with rainfall totaling 9.14 inches for the year. Forecasters expect waters to recede today and warn of cooler, then warmer temperatures by Friday. Nearly half of First Presbyterian Church’s active members gathered to launch a $215,000 fund drive to finish the building program, led by H A Solenberger with Harry L McCann outlining space needs and costs.
