  • I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of ABC News' World News Tonight With Peter Jennings' Report On Potomac River Flood On Wednesday Evening, November 6, 1985.

  • Man, I was -2 years old when this happened.

  • Great clip. Thanks for posting. This aired on Wednesday, November 6, 1985.

  • WOW I wish it would flood here in philippi WV i would love to see it flood not to hurt ppl houses just to see it here the river is up here and now All i need is for it to keep rain which it is...

  • I remember quite well the 1985 flood. It ravaged all the towns on the South Branch of the Potomac and then worked its way down through Paw Paw, Hancock, Harpers Ferry, Point of Rocks etc. I was around in 1972 when Agnes hit and remember standing on Chain Bridge looking at the swollen Potomac and the ripped apart C&O Canal. It was a mess.

  • omg that looks scary..

  • Cool. I was in 2nd grade, living in Front ROyal when this flood happened. I remember writing about it in my class journal.
