Floods threaten many areas Temperatures drop : all across country By LARRY RYCKMAN Associated Press Writer The Winter of '96 whipsawed much of the nation Friday, sending Midwestern temperatures crashing 58 degrees in one Illinois town and melting blizzard snow into flash floods in the East. Several towns in West Virginia were warned to evacuate after the Greenbrier and Potomac rivers jumped their banks. In Keyser, helicopters were used to lift some people to safety, and some residents had to be removed by boat in Parsons when the Cheat River flooded. Some" 330 West Virginia roads were closed because of high water and officials estimated that at least 430 homes were damaged. That number was expected to rise as "some rivers crest Saturday. . There was also flooding in Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylva;. nia and New York.

"Thursday, we were working in shirtsleeves. Today, we're trying to figure out how to get ice out of the truck hoses," said Phillip Caputi, plant manager for Athens Oil Co., in Athens, Ga. The temperature went from 65 degrees to 31 overnight Cities that saw record highs on Thursday woke up to a deep freeze. Moline, 111., fell to minus 2, a drop; Chicago went from 61 degrees to 10, with a wind chill of 21 below zero. Indianapolis was 61 on Thursday, and 4 on Friday. Atlanta fell from 63 degrees to 21. The storm blew into the East with driving rain and lower temperatures. Wind gusting to 61 mph closed New York City's Verrazano and Throgs Neck bridges to motorcycles and trucks. The temperature in Buffalo, N.Y., dropped 17 degrees in one hour. In New York, a foot section of the dome above the ee U.N. General Assembly was ripped up by the gusting winds, n forcing workers to put a metal garbage cans around the podium to catching leaking half-doze- water. Eight subway lines experienced problems, mostly due to flooding in the tunnels. For many in North Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska, it was still too cold to begin digging out from the blizzard, which blasted the region with more than a foot of snow on Wednesday and Thursday. Schools, offices and businesses were closed a second day. "As far as I'm concerned, nobody should be leaving home or work or wherever they are," said police Sgt. Dean Mueller in Fargo, N.D., where the wind chill made it feel like 80 below. "To get out and get stranded is to risk dying." hit a record Bismarck, minus 39 and Minot, N.D., had a record 31 below. Fosston, Minn., had the nation's low with 44 degrees below zero, while Morris, Minn., had a wind chill reading of 76 below. Snowplows broke down when their heaters burned out. At least six deaths were blamed on the storm in Minnesota. Two ice fishermen were missing in Kansas, and one person was killed by flooding in West Virginia.
