In June 1972; Hurricane Agnes hit the East Coast with a monstrous and devastating force; bringing a deluge across multiple states and slamming four counties in the Southern Tier: Steuben; Chemung; Tioga; and Broome. Dozens died and property damage ran into the millions as Corning; Elmira; Owego; Binghamton; and other communities suddenly found themselves under water. The flood destroyed the Erie Lackawanna Railroad; staggered the Penn Central; shut down Corning Glass Works for weeks; and devastated the Corning Museum of Glass--a major cultural resource. Lives and landscapes were forever changed when homes and businesses washed away in a matter of minutes. Henceforth; the regions history became permanently divided into the times before and the times after the 1972 flood. Through stunning images; The 1972 Flood in New Yorks Southern Tier chronicles the extraordinary destruction of twisted rail lines; devastated streets; exhausted recovery workers; rivers bursting their banks; cars on houses; and houses on cars"; all while capturing the communities" rebuilding efforts and recovery of the glass museum treasures.
