June 25, 1972 Aftermath of Hurricane Agnes in Pictures


Much has been, and could be, written about Hurricane Agnes. Dewitt’s impressions have been included in both the June 23 Goodman Hotel Snippet and the June 24 Stout Memorial Snippet.

Rather than write about the aftermath I’ve chosen to share pictures taken at Interlaken Beach, Kidders and Taughannock Creek. All photos were taken by Frank and Ann Bassette and kept with other family photos.

Interlaken Beach:

Taughannock Creek, this is of course very similar to recent photos

[Written by Edna, Dewitt’s wife]
Pete and Lem drove down this morning, going down to the lake to see the damage done by the storm.
Sun came out and not a bad day.
Took Dad [Dewitt] down to the hospital this afternoon for tests and X-rays. He hasn’t been feeling good for about four weeks.
