Ellicott City Flood 9/7/11 - My Flooded Yard :(

Sept 7, 2011 - after the rains let up. This wasn't even the worst of it. At it's peak our backyard looked like a raging river--it was raining so hard. The basement flooded and my sisters room on the bottom floor flooded.

Do you live near the Historic Ellicott City area? I had quite an adventure driving home from school- learned how to hydroplane successfully...

@GawkyBallerina I live about 5 minutes from Main Street off of Rte 29. And yes that drive home from work at noon was scary!!! I'm glad I left work when I did because so many rods in my area were closed.

im in the ec area as well and couldn't believe it! ec hasn't had this much rain since agnes apparently.

@x3bumbleBeex31 I know right!!--EC got hit really hard apparently. Main Street had to be totally closed and reminded me of the Agnes days. Crazy stuff!!!!

@flyergymgirl125 I usually take 29 North home but it was completely closed. One of the paring lots at school had to be closed because of flooding.

Also my children went "surfing" on boogie boards in our backyard because we had a river too!

My basement flooded becuase I live right in Catonsville by Catonsville Middle School!

Wow thats a lot of water! I got hit pretty bad by Hurricane Irene. A major tree crashed into my home destroying some of it, but with everything terrible happening with the weather it reminds me of how lucky we are to not have to go through this chaos every single day!
