Harrisburg Evacuee

NPR
Published January 21, 1996 at 11:00 PM CST

Linda Wertheimer speaks with Harrisburg resident Thelma Ziegler. Ziegler's house was flooded, and she was evacuated Saturday morning. She also survived the floods of 1936 and 1972, and prepared for the blizzard of 1996 by selling off much of her furniture in the last few weeks.
