Ellicott City is destroyed again. Damage downhill on Main Street looks devastatingly similar to that in 2016. pic.twitter.com/TLmv0raNHu

The damage in #EllicottCity at the top of Main Street is worse than 2016. Ellicott Mills Dr. completely washed out. A wedding party was evacuated from Main Street Ballroom. pic.twitter.com/XLbPrubx6u
