C&P Telephone

I read in a book there was three inches of rain in an hour at one period, and it had accumulated overnight, so things were full to begin with, and it just hadn't a place to go.

To add to all that agony, In the first block of East Patrick Street was the C&P Telephone Company, and that was the main place for the phone company for the central part of Frederick County, as I heard later and know whatever happened.

The problem was, from what I heard, the switching equipment was in the basement.

It got flooded.
