EAVY RAINAGAIN “Congare by sine THREATENS FLOOD Stream Diverted to Save| Reservoir at Edgemont. Wharf Inundated. A three-inch rain yesterday after- noon, following two days after a six- inch precipitation, renewed flood threats in the upper Potomac and Cumberland valleys. The rainfall for the week so far at Hagerstown is just a fraction of an inch less than the record for any' single month in 60 years and the Po- tomsc River at that point is six feet above normal. ., Streams f e large reservoir at Bdgemont, Md., were diverted last night after residents of the valley fled when word was sent out that the dam was in danger of collapse. The heavy rain of Tuesday taxed the reservoir to | capacity, according to engineers. The diversion of the streams entering the reservoir was believed this morning to have averted the danger.
