Over 170 are gathered at Grace Lutheran Church to celebrate the life of our friend Elaine Sharkey Everett

Over 170 are gathered at Grace Lutheran Church to celebrate the life of our friend Elaine Sharkey Everett

Name on elementary school is also Carroll's connection to 1927 flood

Name on elementary school is also Carroll's connection to 1927 flood

By Kevin E. Dayhoff




The humanitarian disaster that followed the 1927 Great Mississippi Flood propelled Robert Russa Moton, the president of a small college, into the national spotlight. This same prominent political leader also helped Franklin Roosevelt's Democratic Party win the 1932 presidential election.

Despite a dire weather forecast earlier this month, we dodged a weather bullet when Hurricane Joaquin stayed out to sea.

[…]

In a rehearsal for the upcoming dramas that will take place in Maryland this winter when snow is predicted; events were cancelled, emergencies declared, mothers gathered their children, and folks took to the streets to forage for materials to make bad weather omelets – milk, bread, eggs, extra batteries and toilet paper.

In the end, the weather did turn ugly, but not from the hurricane or a visit from Hell’s Nebulae, but rather from a strong nor'easter that pelted much of Maryland with high winds, heavy rains and the threat of flooding.

As winter approaches Nor'easter often cause many to think of heavy snowstorms. But during the height of the media frenzy over Joaquin, several media outlets raised the memories of when the August 1933 storm cut the inlet just below Ocean City. Sun writer, Chris Guy explained it well in an August 23, 2003 account, “On the morning of Aug. 23, Ocean City residents awoke to discover that the record tide and rainfall that flooded coastal bays had combined with the storm's winds to cut a 50-foot gash through the island's lowest point, severing the resort from Assateague Island…”

Shortly after we dodged the Zombie apocalypse weather event, one reader in the grocery store checkout line still had that wide-eyed look like she was about to be abducted by space aliens as she asked if Carroll County has ever – could ever, have flooding like what South Carolina recently experienced. “That couldn’t possible ever happen here could it,” she asked breathlessly.

She was referring to the epic flooding that has just taken place in South Carolina that weather professionals and state Gov. Nikki Haley, are calling a ‘1,000-year flood’ terminology.

I answered calmly, “What do Carroll County, Led Zeppelin, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and one of the worst natural disasters in American history all have in common? In the end, we are all going to Chicago… ‘

[…]

South Carolina was not so lucky. The national news media has carried a number of stories about flooding there that was so bad that Gov. Nikki Haley said, "We are at a 1,000-year level of rain," according to CNN.

While perhaps not to those historic levels, throughout its history Carroll County has had its fair share of bad floods…

[…]

On Monday, July 30, 1923, a flood "swept down the valleys, flooding hundreds of homes … and causing great property damage," in southern Carroll Co. according to an Aug. 3, 1923 article in the Democratic Advocate newspaper.

Research for the Historical Society of Carroll Co. by historian Mary Ann Ashcraft indicates that another flood on July 24, 1868, destroyed much of Sykesville.

The devastating historic floods that followed Hurricane Agnes beginning on June 21, 1972 and Hurricane Eloise on Sept. 26, 1975 destroyed bridges, roads and homes through Carroll Co.

 Designating a day to celebrate the nation's military power a source of conflict
However, it is another flood; one that took place in 1927, which had a profound socio-political effect on American history and has a Carroll connection, though it did not even take place in Carroll County…
