| episode_narrative | The track of Tropical Storm Fran from south-central through western Virginia allowed gusty southeast winds at and just above the surface to channel water up the Chesapeake Bay and its main tributaries. This became a small-scale storm surge, containing 6 foot waves and tides which ran in some places nearly 6 feet above normal.Damage was fairly heavy along the immediate shore of the Chesapeake Bay and tidal Potomac River in Charles, St Mary's, Calvert, and Anne Arundel Counties. In Charles Co, property damage was estimated at $1.6 million with Cobb Island suffering substantial losses. Approximately 75 homes were flooded; between 100 and 200 piers and bulkheads were damaged or destroyed. Affected Charles Co residents believed this to be a flood of memory rivaling that of Hurricane Hazel in 1954. Substantial damage was also noted at newly developed land along the shore in northern Calvert and southern Anne Arundel Counties (North Beach/Chesapeake Beach). In all, $1.4 million in damage was incurred in Anne Arundel Co, including 83 homes, 7 commercial properties, and a total of 100 bulkheads and piers. Twenty homes were flooded along the northern Calvert Co shoreline. Farther north, in southeastern Baltimore Co, 100 people were evacuated in the Bowley's Quarter area.Damage was notable but substantially less in St Mary's Co where coastal residential and business development lags. |
