Men create human chain to rescue woman from Maryland flood

A submerged auto is visible in the Patapsco River, seen from the Howard County side of Patapsco Valley State Park after the sidewalk caved in due to Saturday night’s flooding in Ellicott City. “Now, unfortunately, in some ways, it’s an opportunity for us to make some changes”.

Kittleman hosted a meeting Monday for residents impacted by severe flooding in Ellicott City.

“The first floor of numerous businesses are just full of debris; can’t even get in them because of the debris”, he said.

Eventually, the she said the group found stairs they could use.

He said Christina told him the women left the restaurant during a downpour and got into Ms. Watsula’s Ford Focus compact vehicle.

Adam Evans said he knew his vehicle had not survived the flood after he saw images of it during news coverage. “We have certainly had our fair share in the United States in recent years, and any increasing trend in these type of rainfall events is highly concerning”, Bowen said. “Not a problem, it was the decent thing to do”, Barnes told Knight after she finally thanked him in person.

During Tropical Storm Lee in 2011, a flash flood took over the town’s streets, devastating homes and businesses. His girlfriend was able to escape, but Blevins was swept away.

Two people died in the flooding and another 120 have been rescued. “We are going to become a stronger, better community, because that is who we are”.

The dramatic rescue in Ellicott City’s Main Street was captured on video, which was posted to Facebook by local business owner Sara Arditti.

“It looks like the set of a disaster movie”, Kittleman said. “We will continue to strengthen this partnership as we work together to support business owners and residents during their recovery efforts in the wake of this tragic disaster”. She asked first responders to help others first because she said she and others at Ellicott Mills Brewing Company were OK.

Another caller says “flooding is an understatement”. State officials said repairing the damage will cost millions.

Mr. Brubaker of Dover, Pa., said Ms. Watsula had left her 10-year-old daughter Sarah with him while she went to dinner Saturday with Christina, Mr. Brubaker’s mother-in-law and his sister-in-law.

“Flood insurance was just insane down here”, she said. He said she and two other family members were with Ms. Watsula but survived.

“I was just shrieked when I saw Jason get washed away”, Dempster said.
