  1. 300 water rescues were performed yesterday in Maryland.
  2. National Guard person who was off duty but waded into the water to check a car and see if someone was inside. He was swept down into the river.
  3. That can certainly be done, it's a well known mitigation process. The challenge is that Ellicott City is "historic" and any construction will have to be done within the historic confines. Additionally, a project of this magnitude would take a few years. Had flood mitigation work started after the 2016 flood, it most likely would not have been done by now.
  4. WBAL reporting that one person was washed into the Patapsco River during the second "wave" of the rain.
  5. LWX was money through this event...they did an excellent job.
  6. Swift water rescue ongoing US 29 in Howard County
  7. The CE talked up their improvements and left many with the impression that it would never happen again. https://twitter.com/GeorgeSolisWJZ/status/1000874145960398848
  8. With the Patapsco River now swollen, it's going to take a long time for the south end of town to dry out...well past nightfall before flooding ends there.
  9. Fox 45 has been live off and on on their Facebook page.
  10. Gauge about 2 miles south of EC reporting 4"/hr rainfall rates now.
  11. Two gauges near each other reported 10 - 12"...radar estimate 9.3". I'd say it's valid.
  12. Water approaching 2nd floor of some buildings in EC now.
