Rainfall amounting to 1.25 inches fell here in less than two hours, the record total for a similar period since weather records have been kept in Casper, according to the statements of George S. McKenzie, local ob- server. In the busiciess district heavy losses were caused because of the inade- quacy of storm sewers to carry off the excessive waters. Basements in many places were flooded to a depth of several inches before the storm sewers could carry off the water. The heaviest damage was concen trated in the southeastern sections of Casper where flood waters from the mountains together with the waters that fell in that vicinity carrying out curbings and sidewalks, undermining street# and carrying waste and refuse to lawns and streets, in various parts of town. McKinley street is a scene of de- rdstation this morning. Curbings from the ‘southern end of the street to Second street are either washed out or are undermined. Some of the sidewalks .are undermined and yawn ing chasms interrupt traffic at va rious places in the street. Lawns and yards in that vicinity also are. lit tered with the wash which came down in the flood waters. The ‘same conditions obtain in many other sections of the residence district, especially on ,the low grade streets north of second in the east parc of Casper.

The water had receded con siderably from the peak last night however and no further damage from this source is looked for.
