Photographer: Allen C. Browne
Taken: August 25, 2013
Caption: Downtown Hyattsville, 1955
Additional Description: Downtown Hyattsville after Hurricane Connie ripped through the area in 1955. Connie's torrential rail saturated the Northeastern U.S., setting it up for massive flooding when, just five days later, Hurricane Diane spun up the East Coast and drenched the mid-Atlantic and the Norteast. In 1955, the names Connie and Diane were retired from the National Hurricane Center's list of name due to the large amount of damage caused by the storms.Close-up of photo on marker
