[STORMREPORTS] Re: [WEATHERFUN] Severe flash flooding in MD... again
Steve, it has been a wild day here in Harford County. We just got our cable back, but had been monitoring TV and radio. I am aware of several people still stranded in Cecil County..they are in a safe location, but unable to get to their vehicles to go home from work. We heard locally some areas received as much as 8" through 6 p.m. Here in Fallston, we received 1.30", and that was enough to cause problems in our area. They even cancelled the ballgame at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen. Will update more later..
