| episode_narrative | The remnants of Hurricane Dennis moved across Maryland from late on the 4th through midday on the 6th. Its legacy included heavy rain, especially across Central Maryland, power outages from fallen tree limbs, and tidal flooding along the western shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay. Tides were 2 to 3 feet above normal along the shoreline of Calvert and Anne Arundel Counties. Several locations next to the water were flooded at high tide, including a parking lot on Dock Street in Annapolis and Halloween Point, North Beach, and Cove Point in Calvert County. Chesapeake Beach in Calvert County also reported 2 feet of water over 9th Street and minor damage to 2 businesses. In Baltimore, the persistent east to southeast wind pushed water over the seawall at Inner Harbor and onto the Harbor Place promenade. Heavy rain also caused several problems in the region. Two days of rain made Jones Falls Creek in Baltimore swell, and a 13 year old boy floating down the creek in a makeshift raft was washed downstream. It took an hour for a team of 30 fire fighters to rescue him from a pile of debris snagged by a pillar of a bridge supporting the Jones Falls Expressway. The child was treated for hypothermia. Several other communities including Bowley's Quarters near Middle River and Oella near the Patapsco River reported street flooding. In Howard County, Route 1 at Elkridge was closed for a time on the 5th by 2 feet of water. Rainfall totals from Dennis across Central Maryland included 5.59 inches at Clarksburg, 4.50 inches at Glenmont, 4.41 inches at Gaithersburg, 4.05 inches at Rivera Beach, 3.96 inches at Damascus, 3.84 inches at Rockville, 3.77 inches at Laurel, 3.5 inches at Silver Spring, 3.47 inches at Oxon Hill, 3.30 inches at Thurmont, 3.04 inches at Dawsonville, 2.90 inches at Cooksville, 2.70 inches at Hipsley Mill, 2.52 inches at Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI), 2.33 inches at Inner Harbor in Baltimore, and 1.68 inches at Waldorf. In West Central Maryland, 2.46 inches fell at Sharpsburg, 2.45 inches fell at Williamsport, and 2.25 inches fell at Frostburg. Winds gusting to 35 MPH downed tree limbs onto power lines on the afternoon of the 5th, causing scattered power outages. Nearly 2000 customers in Central Maryland lost power. Lightning also downed two main power poles near Frostburg in Allegany County on the 5th, causing 4700 customers to lose power. The poles were downed at the intersection of Interstate 68 and Route 36, and crews had to shut down Interstate 68 between midnight and 6 AM on the 6th to repair them. |
