Scientists said the July 2016 rainstorm was a once-in-a-thousand-year event.

But on Sunday it happened again

No it didn't. The second one was a 1 in 283 year event. And the one in 1975 was a 1 in 78 year event...

If you build a town in a ravine down by the river this type of stuff happens!

All anyone has to do is look at the Flood insurance Risk Maps for Ellicott City.

Hope all those folks who flooded bought flood insurance.

And God bless Sgt. Hermond, a National Guardsman who died while attempting a rescue during the flooding...

National Guardsman's heroism in Ellicott City flood recalled as 'the most Eddie thing ever'
