Actually this is really nothing-it’s just a minor flood.

I beg to differ. While Agnes and TS Lee caused historic flooding over a wide spread area, this was a very localized but intense flood – 6 ½ inches of rain fell in about 2 hours over a small area. The damage to old town Ellicott City is tremendous. The flood waters came down Main Street so furiously that some of the buildings’ foundations have been compromised and many roads in the area completely torn up.

So yes “minor” in terms of area and number of people effected but not minor for those who are.

when I said it was “it’s just a minor flood” I was diminuizing the flood in humour.

Looks like Ellicott City MD will need MASSIVE amounts of federal monies to repair unless these shop owners have flood insurance which I think pretty much it’s a requirement to open up a biz there now.
