Two years later Hurricane Agnes the worst hurricane ever to hit Pennsylvania struck killing 48 people in the state and causing $2. 1 billion (in 1972 dollars) in damages. Four other dams including Marsh Creek dam were completed in 1974 1983 and 1994. Some longtime Downingtown residents who replied to surveys conducted by the Army Corps in 2003 mention damages sustained during Agnes but the very next hurricane mentioned is Hurricane Floyd in 1999.

that maybe a few of the black folks that came would stay here and live and become a Corbinite — live in Corbin and essentially become pioneers” said Thompson. A year and a half later many of the guests displaced by the hurricane — including all of the blacks — have gone home or moved away except for Slone. “I’m thankful that the church had the vision to open up their doors to bring us up here” he says. “I’m an adventurer I’m a pioneer I’ll try anything once. “Slone now works in a cabinet factory in Corbin. He says he’s received some cold looks in town but for the most part Corbin has not lived up to its old reputation as a place that’s inhospitable to black people.
