Flooding Hits Baltimore A Day After Record-Breaking Rain In New York


(CNN) -- A sudden downpour in Baltimore shut down Amtrak train service Monday morning and brought reports of flash floods that isolated emergency vehicles and caused at least one neighborhood evacuation.

The morning's heavy rain locked commuters in flooded intersections, stalling their vehicles as well as those of rescuers, said Baltimore Fire Chief Kevin Cartwright.

Cartwright said his department was working Monday afternoon to evacuate a neighborhood in the 3400 block of Spellman Road after a resident reported her row home's basement flooded by five feet of water.

Is it me, or is it strange that in the photo of the flooding, the swimming pool appears to be empty?? Just wondering........
