Marietta got hit HARD. I was 14 or 15 and a photographer with my own darkroom. I offered my services over the radio via public service announcement to take photos for insurance purposes. I got to see a lot of damage. I was busy for weeks in my spare time. ONE of my photos was taken during the storm of old Rt 30 (Columbia Pike) bridge at The Conestoga Creek facing BOAS market. Maple Grove public pools were on the left. The waters were at their peak, and OVER the bridge. I think the swimming pools were under raging creek water too. It was bad! I thought I had something there, so my mom drove me and a fresh(out of my darkroom) B&W 8X10 to The Lancaster New Era downtown. They PUBLISHED my photo with my name in a by-line. I was quite pleased. I am sure it is in the New Era archives. I wish someone would pull it and put it up online. My copy is long gone.

The Conowingo Dam was overtopped. The new Raystown Lake filled in record time.
