Rescuers seeking 1 man still missing in Maryland flooding
ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — One man remained missing after flash flooding tore down historic Main Street in Ellicott City, Maryland, and left a community heartbroken at seeing severe damage less than two years after another devastating flood.
Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman said Monday morning that his priorities are finding the missing man and assessing the condition of buildings that house shops, restaurants and families.
“We’re certainly making every effort to locate that individual,” he said.
Howard County police identified him Monday as 39-year-old Severn resident Eddison Hermond, an active member of the Army National Guard.
