episode_narrativeThunderstorms with very heavy downpours and gusty winds moved through North Central Maryland for the third straight day on the 13th. In Washington County, an underpass was flooded in Hagerstown. Roads were also flooded in Williamsport. In Montgomery County, a 60 MPH gust was reported in Germantown. Trees were downed in Brookeville and Laytonsville. Route 108 and Woodfield Road in Damascus were flooded after 3 inches of rain fell. In Howard County, trees were downed in Glenwood. Several roads were closed by flooding or mudslides in the Lisbon area. In Anne Arundel County, a home on Polling House Road in Harwood was struck by lightning three times. The attic of the home was largely destroyed by the resulting fire. In Baltimore County, several trees were downed in Baltimore, Towson, and Parkville. Severe flash flooding was reported in the northeast part of Baltimore. Two streets became rushing rapids, washing several cars hundreds of yards away. Several motorists had to be rescued from their cars or had to swim to safety. The hardest hit areas included Hillen Road, 35th Street, and Aisquith Street near 25th Street. The wall of water reached a height of 10 feet near the intersection of Hillen Road and 35th Street. A pile of vehicles found in this location after the water receded testified to the power of the flood. One woman was injured at this same intersection after flooding weakened the floor in the first level of her home and she fell through when it collapsed. Numerous other homes were damaged by flood waters in this part of town as well. At the intersection of Aisquith Street and 25th Street, the wall of water reached 6 feet in height. Six cars were stuck in water beneath a railroad overpass. Minor street flooding was reported at the intersection of Northern Parkway and Walther Boulevard. Street flooding was also reported in Parkville and Towson. In Carroll County, flood waters covered a bridge along Route 97 in Mayberry. In Harford County, flooding was reported in Whiteford, Norrisville, and other low lying areas along the Pennsylvania border. Flash flooding was also reported in Fallston where several feet of water was seen rushing down roads and basements were flooded.
