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.
I saw a report on WBAL earlier this morning that some businesses on Main Street in Ellicott City “hope” to be back open by Christmas. I hope they have good insurance but it may not be enough to cover all their losses. And there is also going to have to be many street repairs and repairs to utilities. As I understand several gas mains were ruptured in the flooding.
