I thought things had dried out a bit just before this storm. Had a contractor come in do to some work, and their payloader and trucks just sank in the front yard, Water oozed up. Nothing but a mud pit now.

I wonder, did flooding occur in such epic proportions (50, 100 years ago) in the Port of Leonardtown area prior to the recent "development" ?
I don't miss the seasonal deluges there. In TX, AZ, etc, the problem is dry - as in so dry you can't slather yourself with enough moisturizer to keep yourself from cracking. You can't drink enough water to stay hydrated. So dry it dries up the rivers. Too bad they can't divvy up with MD.
I lived in SoMD for 30 years and it was always that way - spring flooding, and again in the fall. Before that I couldn't tell you. I don't see that they're really getting worse over the years but maybe someone else will chime in.

Heavy equipment does not like weather like this. Been watching the bucket truck this week along Rt235 putting up new cable getting stuck everyday. They really screwed up one yard trying to get close to the pole. The should have already learned their lesson from the day before but no.

What "recent development"? Same old buildings that have always been there...for many decades. Or did you mean in surrounding area? "surrounding area" development was largely responsible for the horrific floods that Ellicott City experienced in recent years, but all that development was at far higher elevations, causing excessive runoff to accumulate down below.
Thanks! I had to backtrack from Leonardtown and take 247 out to 235 this morning. I hope it's still open this evening.

Let me reiterate my post, so that you can stop trying to bully me behind your keyboard, *******. I'm fully aware of the decades old buildings. I'm referring to the "surrounding area". Feel better now?
