Woman Injured In Baltimore Co. Porch Collapse

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—It's an all hands on deck approach in Baltimore County after heavy snow this weekend.

Marcus Washington has more.

It's often said there is calm after a storm, but there is nothing calm about the clean-up after the blizzard of 2016.

"We had the big snow, now we have the big dig," said Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz.

In Baltimore County people were out trying to clear a path in the mess Mother Nature left behind.

In White Marsh a woman is rescued after she is trapped when the roof of her porch collapsed.

"She was outside on her porch when her porch collapsed on her. We are not sure of the reason for the collapse and that is currently under investigation," said an official.

County cleanup crews have been working around the clock since the beginning of the storm Friday afternoon.

"So we've got about 700 people out there and everyone is working hard," Kamenetz said.

The county executive says they has been able to clear the major roadways with the help of additional contractors from out of state.

"We're now working on the secondary roads. Those people who live on courts, unfortunately they are going to be the last," said Kamenetz. "Part of the problem is, there is just so much snow; we can't just push it, we have to dig it out sometimes and transport it somewhere else. That's where things are really doing to get slowed down a little."

Friday and Saturday brought some of the heaviest snowfall this region has seen leaving many people in Baltimore County asking when will it stop.

So with the end of the snowfall the cleanup is in process.

"I was going to see if I could shovel other people's driveways for money, but I'm still doing mine. It's a lot of work," said 13-year-old T.J. Linz.

We now wait for the melting begins.
