DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe excessive rains associated with hurricane Diane produced devastating floods in southern New England, eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern New York, and northern New Jersey on August 18-20, 1955. Both rains and floods were of record proportions and inflicted tremendous property damage and loss of life. The hurricane rains also produced floods in the Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia area and in eastern North Carolina, but these floods, except for some local areas, were generally not severe and damage was not extensive.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTwo large tropical storms, designated as Hurricanes "Connie" and "Diane" passed through the area of the Washington District during 11-13 August and 17-19 August, respectively. In advance, and during their passage, heavy rains caused flooding of varied intensities throughout the area. During Connie serious flooding was limited to the eastern region of Maryland and Virginia, while flooding from Diane covered the entire area. Damage was caused by fluvial flooding, by tidal flooding and by winds. This report covers fluvial flood damage only.
