Ellicott City, parts of Baltimore County hit hard
Torrential rainfall brought on by the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee flooded dozens of Baltimore-area roads, and sent the water rising out of rivers and creeks Wednesday — even as forecasters warned that more rain was on the way.
Flash flooding forced the evacuation of several blocks along Main Street in historic Ellicott City, left some businesses covered in mud and cut people in Cockeysville off from their homes. It endangered a Carroll County teen and even a half-dozen members ofBaltimore County rescue teams — forcing them into the swollen, fast-moving Patapsco, where they had to swim to safety.
