[nagdu] remembering June 14, 2009

[Bob Hicks]

Must the date.  June 14, 1990, we had 6 inches of rain and flash flooding in 
the Ohio valley.  We were west of Wheeling in a camper at Seneca Lake in OH. 
We were in a camper, but most of the storm missed and hit our home town and 
just south of us.  I think 13 died!
