Elderly Woman Taken to Higher Ground as Flash Floods Hit Ellicott City, Maryland

Harrowing footage shows an older woman being escorted from a Maryland brewery as flash floods ravaged the area. Rescuers risked their lives in what officials are calling the worst flooding in Ellicott City's history. Video shows floodwaters carrying vehicles through the streets. It comes two years after the area was similarly devastated by floods. InsideEdition.com's Keleigh Nealon ( / keleighnealon ) has more. #InsideEdition

[@IlhaamOR]

Wow, I have been to this beautiful town on several occasions....sad to see the devastation..

[@kiralove1017]

Hey you guys ! I live about 10 mins from Ellicott City and it’s doing better than it was yesterday evening. My dad works down in Ellicott City and I’m praying that when he goes back to work tomorrow everything will be fine. He and other people that work down there will need to do a whole lot of cleaning up the damage . But I’m praying for Ellicott City . That is my childhood place and I make sure to go down there Once and a while .

[@wwelover427]

[@ogechiu.4677]

OMG I live in Randallstown, Maryland and I was soo scared of what happend and I hid upstairs for 6hours with the news on praying that the flood wouldn't reach us. Now that i think of it LMAO

[@dreafar4137]

Praying for everyone 🙏🏼❤️ praying for this world!

[@j-c9890]

I count myself lucky that the only disaster I have to worry about is tornados which rarely get close to ur home

[@drazgul9403]

America, learn form the past, adapt and overcome. There has to be someway to let the water go to the underground.

[@anthonymolina7416]

Draz'Gul we don’t have money for that

[@meeptoo7398]

The problem is there is the Patapsco in front of it but there is also a small river that runs under the shops. You can see it flowing out into the river under the bridge.

[@jacobcohen5983]

I’m 15 min from Ellicott City I pray for it

[@vanesaloveshogwarts9871]

I'm hoping and praying everyone is okay 🙏😯😟

[@finleythegolden2909]

That’s crazy, that place is just like 30 min from my house, and it didn’t even rain here.

[@meeptoo7398]

Yep I live 5 minutes away from that. We got 11 inches in 2 hours in Catonsville

[@daliagarcia813]

There’s a flood warning here in new Hanover but I don’t think it’s as bad as this

[@bickyyboo]

happened yet again😪 was just gonna go to old ellicott city and found out it flooded again💔

[@theafricanwoman2818]

Sending my prayers to the people affected by this . Please pray..its end times.

[@isabellahickey3168]

I used to live in that town and it breaks my heart to see this

[@usmcmsgt5487]

This happened in 2016 and now in 2018. If you’re a business owner and you rebuild in the same exact spot you’re an idiot. I heard one owner in an interview said he will rebuild in exact same place.... if I’m an insurance company you’re not being insured by me

[@lexbeltran1354]

What the hell is that person doing taking a walk during a flood???

[@jimmybobbyjoe]

As always, inside edition always seems to amaze me.

IT LOOKS LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK!!

[@sl8rz]

Cait i know i was being sarcastic

[@danielcuevas5899]

Wow. What city that ? It's beautiful!

[@ZeldaAndIkeLove]

So Inside Edition wants to report on the second flood of Ellicott City but not the cop killing or memorial service for Amy Caprio?! It happened in the same state

[@lyvieaiyanna7180]

Holy cow 😱

[@melty_osu]

Damn she is really brave!

[@josepallares2920]

I hope they help and live

[@XGh0sT77]

I live 15 minutes away from the Flood. The City is on the bottom of a bunch of hills. All the trees were removed so all the water just goes straight down. Our 1 Relatively close Dam doesn’t affect too much. My neighborhood was safe because we aren’t on the hills or anything

[@morgan859]

My dad rescued a few kids and more people he got called into work last night because he works for BGE

[@HipposAreDeadly]

Sorry but that guy in the beginning isn't the best thinker. What the hell is the point of being dry when you're soaked from the waist down

[@fyy5998]

Wow this reminds me of the flood I was in and it was higher than my knee I’m 153cm tall and seriously higher than my knee, I couldve flown into the ocean but I hang on to my father, the funny thing was when I plugged in my iPad to the charger the lights went off

[@justincatgato9041]

Natural disasters, ugh, why? Not to be rude but I mean, perhaps they can build a bit higher than normal ground, like a tall base and then rebuild, well, actually no, that'll cost even more...
