Flash Flood — Allegheny, Pennsylvania

2001-01-31 · near Mc Keesport, Allegheny, Pennsylvania

Event narrative

Ice jams moving down the Youghiogheny River produced minor flooding from Boston down to the McKeesport area. The movement of the ice itself caused the main problem, as it tore apart and destroyed 210 boat docks at the McKeesport Marina on its way out into the Monongahela River
