Hurricane Agnes High Water Mark @ Zook's Mill Covered Bridge - West Earl Township, PA - High Level Marks on Waymarking.com

Flood waters from Hurricane Agnus rose 6 1/2 ft. above the bridge floor, but did not destroy the bridge. Since the floor is 11 ft. or so higher than the creek, I guess it is safe to say everything else was destroyed or severely damaged by the raging flood waters.

After the damage that resulted from the flood, some rotting timbers were replaced, and the old horizontal clapboard siding was replaced with the new vertical board and batten siding. It may have been less the construction of the bridge that saved it from the flood than its location, at a broad, flat spot in the valley of Cocalico Creek. SOURCE

Visit Instructions:
A picture showing the level along with any markers telling of what had occurred can be used. Better yet would be a picture of you or someone standing next to the high level mark, that would show if you would have been just wading or completely submersed.
