Howdy do, Conor. *HUGZ*

I hope all’s well with you this evening.

It would be nice if the storm system dies down before reaching MD, especially Ellicott City. They don’t need the first drop of rain!

Two "thousand-year floods" in two years. What next?

Ellicott City - the "Old Town" - is a pipe-stem canyon downstream of a large area of land that was, until a couple of decades ago, largely undeveloped. Now, much of that land is developed - i.e. paved - and water that heretofore was absorbed now runs straight off into the Tiber River and scours the canyon that is Old Town Ellicott City.
