Flood Warnings Continue Throughout Md. After Weekend Thunderstorms
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for parts of Maryland Monday following weekend thunderstorms.
The warning has been extended to Anne Arundel and Howard counties until 5 p.m.
The National Weather Service tells drivers to turn around instead of driving through flooded roads as there is a large risk of drowning and most flood deaths occur in vehicles.
The warning comes as a state of emergency is called for Historic Ellicott City.

Eight inches of rain caused flash floods to hit the area Sunday, two years after the region was hit by devastating flooding in July 2016. Officials believe it could be worse than last time with the exception that no injuries or deaths have been reported so far. Two people died in the 2016 floods.
