Although Montgomery county was late
Monday afternoon visited by its heaviest
rainfall of recent years. little or no damage,
so far as can be learned, was done. 1t
began shortly before 5 O'Clock and con-
tinued for something like two hours. at
times approaching the severity of cloud
burst. That the county escaped great
damage was due to the fact that there
was very little wind and no lightning.
In Rockville and vicinity the downpour
was particularly heavy. flooding the streets
and roads and hating all forms Of traffic.
The Washington and Rockville electric line
was tied up for a short while, due to water
covering the track at various points, in
some places to depth of a foot or more.
