The Nation - News from Aug. 30, 1988

The remnants of Tropical Storm Chris slogged up the East Coast and clashed with a cold front. The two systems dumped up to 6 inches of rain along their paths while triggering flood warnings from Pennsylvania to Vermont. The remnants of the storm moved through Virginia, Maryland and Washington, then pushed into Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey en route to New England, dumping heavy rains along its route. It ran into the cold front moving south from Canada that already had drenched parts of Pennsylvania, New York and Vermont. The nuclear aircraft carrier Eisenhower collided with a Spanish freighter in choppy seas and heavy rains off Virginia as the storm passed.
