Storms Once Again Wreak Havoc Across Maryland

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A summertime storm dumped significant rain in the area Monday, causing flooding, washed-out roads and downed trees.

In Towson, surprised drivers and even MTA buses got stuck on the roads.

Residents watched in panic as a creek kept rising and eventually flooded Loch Raven Boulevard near Walker Avenue.

"Scary because it just happened in a blink of an eye. One minute you look, the next minute it was overflowing," said Kia Downs.

At least 10 drivers learned the hard way as their cars were no match for Mother Nature.

"Never thought I'd be stuck in a car where I have water floating up to the door," said driver John Perry.

A line of MTA buses was caught in the roadblock. One driver told WJZ that passengers were moved to other buses.

Baltimore County Fire crews were on the scene at Putty Hill and then at Philadelphia Road for rescues. Two people were injured on Philadelphia Road where a tree fell onto a truck. The pair was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The same line of violent storms left behind a path of destruction in College Park where hail slammed the area and trees were downed.

Homeowners are once again cleaning up across the region.

"Both of my cars flooded. Washed all the trash and away," said James McNeil.

For McNeil, the question is what's next after his backyard creek turned into a raging river.

"I just purchased the house about a year ago. I'm just trying to figure out how to get things fixed," he said. "If there is any type of organization we can get in touch with that can help us. If not, I'm going to have to lay for it out of pocket."

Flooding was reported in Middle River where floodwaters covered road for the second time in a week.

Lightning and thunder were spotted throughout the Baltimore region.
