Fifth Street viewed from Market during the
peak of the January 1996 flood caused by rainfall on top of a major snowpack.
Slackwater from Bull Run blocked by the Susquehanna River covers the street.
Although less than a 20-yr flood on the Susquehanna, the 1996 flood exceeded
the 100-yr event in many smaller streams in the area. |
