Road washed away in Ellicott City MD.

I'm editing this post because of comments from the peanut gallery on shooting. This was the last video in a long evening of shooting other segments on my site as you will see if you scroll. Waterlogged phone and issues with a number of things.... the orientation was just another.
I'm sure those with the negative posts are perfect individuals with always reliable equipment. Right!

Why can't the focus be on the issue at hand. Reporting and helping.
