Meyersdale Flood of 1924


Flaugherty Creek in 1924. The Wilmoth Hill Bridge on Route 219 (Beachley Street) can be seen in the background.
Large Street was turned into a river by the Flood of 1924.

The overflowing Casselman River inundates the land on Cuba Street, west of Salisbury Street.
Looking west from the Broadway bridge, a car is immersed in the flood water.
