Recovery efforts are still underway in the aftermath of a severe storm

BALTIMORE -- Many people in the northeast part of Baltimore are still recovering from last week's severe weather that left thousands without power for several days.

Beatrice Burroughs-Brown has lived on Alisa Avenue in the Waltherson neighborhood for 29 years.

"The gush of rain came on down along with big balls of hail—like big as a golf ball," Burroughs-Brown said. "I looked out and there was nothing but standing water that fast. It was about two feet. And, then the power went out."

"It's getting worse. It's getting worse with this water. It wasn't this bad before," Burroughs-Brown said.
