ExiledInIllinois Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) BS. I took one look @: "the historic mill town" And knew there was historic trouble. Even a quick Wiki look @ its history says something, confirms there is bogus narrative in play here... Awful lot of years flooded.. But back to the "Mill Town." Water, by humans is being harnessed... They can't control it 100% when the sky opens up. "The town is prone to flooding from the Patapsco River and its tributary the Tiber River. These floods have had a major impact on the history of the town, often destroying important businesses and killing many. Ellicott City has had major devastating floods in 1817, 1837, 1868,[5] 1901, 1917, 1923, 1938, 1942, 1952, 1956, 1972 (Hurricane Agnes), 1975 (Hurricane Eloise), 1989, 2011, 2016, and 2018. The 1868 flood washed away 14 houses, killing 39 to 43 (accounts vary) in and around Ellicott City. It wiped out the Granite Manufacturing Cotton Mill, Charles A. Gambrill's Patapsco Mill, John Lee Carroll's mill buildings, and dozens of homes.[5] One mill was rebuilt by Charles Gambrill, which remained in operation until a fire in 1916 A 1923 flood topped bridges, in 1952 an 8-foot (2.4 m) wall of water swept the shops of Ellicott City, and a 1956 flood inflicted heavy damage at the Bartigis Brothers plant. On June 21, 1972, the Patapsco River valley flooded 14.5 feet (4.4 m) from the remnants of Hurricane Agnes, taking out a concrete bridge, destroying the Jonathan Ellicott home, and the 1910 Victor Blode water filtration plant, and flooding Main Street to the Odd Fellows hall.[6]:26 The Old Main Line of the B&O Railroad also sustained serious damage. On September 27, 1975, the town was flooded 9.0 feet (2.7 m) from Hurricane Eloise. Floods also occurred September 22, 1989, from Hurricane Hugo, and on September 7, 2011, flooding 11.0 feet (3.4 m) from Tropical Storm Lee."

That's an "older" area. Assuming no weather changes, I'll bet that somebody may have cut/screwed with an old drainage pattern that brings this on. I've seen it over and over on construction sites. An underground drain is shown as "abandoned" on a chart, so it gets demo'd, and here comes the flood. I do stand by the no flood plain/flood history when considering a place to live. I would expect that those properties will be impossible to sell, in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume those properties on Main Street are worth about 1/3 of what they were in 2015..aint an insurance company in the world gonna insure those places.

And given the history, Main Street has been wiped out numerous times in last century, no insurance company should ever have insured. This is BS narrative, GW thingy about "once in a 1,000 years." The flood standard is 100 year. 1938 and 1942 floods, 4 years apart. 2 years does not seem extreme for this valley... Yeah, but hype it up for the low info, headline with: "Once in a 1,000 years." Did you see the track record over the last century for this place. It should be a poster child for a flood prone area... And cataclysmic flood prone area. I take, nobody gets past headline before connecting the dots. LMAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I take they don't mill anymore, use water power. Notice floods getting increasingly closer together in 20th Century. Water can't be stopped totally, just redirected. Probably and aging infrastructure (like I interpreted MN's post to include) underneath their, falling apart... Now couple that with more sprawl, growth into places that were never inhabited... Yeah... But throw blame on changing weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call that "hard hit." Economies are bigger now. Can't compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had something like that happen here, too. Bad flooding in winter of 2015/2016 then almost as bad flooding spring 2017, just as folks and businesses were recovering.
