[quote=Anonymous]A) Cummings is an old man, but he's been working to get disaster funding to Ellicott City after the flood, so I'll forgive him not putting on his hip boots and wading through sewage for a photo op. B) Check out this article about development and the flooding from 2 years ago: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/howard/ellicott-city/bs-md-ho-ellicott-city-development-20160813-story.html "County officials say older developments built decades ago have more significant problems with runoff. In fact, some newer redevelopments improve antiquated stormwater management systems because any project built after 1985 is subject to runoff restrictions. "The difficulty this community has is it's at the bottom of a funnel," said Jim Caldwell, who is in charge of community sustainability in Howard County. "The watershed is very steep. It's all heading down to the Patapsco River."" [/quote]
