It was the storm with no name. Despite the fact that yesterdaysweather event included 13 tornadoes in eight states, no one has given it a name,not yet anyway. It was certainly worthy of a name. According to this story byBecky Kellogg on The Weather Channel, over “a hundred homes and businesses in Laurel, Md. were evacuated Thursdayafternoon after heavy rains prompted the opening of nearby dams. A commuterrail station in Laurelwas also closed because of floodwaters.  Roads in Montgomery County, Md. are closed, and someare even buckling, due to the heavy rain and high water."Wind gusts up to81 mph were clocked in southern New England early Thursday, including gustsover 60 mph at New York's LaGuardia Airport and Boston's Logan Airport,"says weather.com Senior Meteorologist Jon Erdman.”
In HoCo it appears that Ellicott dodged the flood bulletthis time around. The bridge crossing the Patapsco Riverwas closed as a precaution but this morning the river was still running underthe bridge instead of over it.
It was right at the deck though. Walking across from the Baltimore County side this morning, Dave Carneyremarked that crossing over with the river so high made him feel a littlenervous.

 It didn't seem to bother Chloe.
