Summary
Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, was hit with a torrential downpour of over three and a half inches of rain in just 45 minutes, turning streets into rivers and flooding homes—some with water reaching thigh-high levels. Despite a $6 million stormwater upgrade in 2013, the system couldn’t handle the extreme rainfall, and residents are left footing the bill for repairs since flood insurance is unavailable—Waynesboro isn’t officially designated a floodplain. One resident even demanded the government fix his flooded basement and replace lost belongings. The storm dumped the equivalent of 314 Olympic pools in minutes, leaving cleanup and recovery just beginning as officials urge affected residents to report damage for possible state aid.
