Patapsco River High Friday Morning - Video

The Patapsco River was high near the Main Street bridge in Historic Ellicott City on Friday morning around 8:30 a.m., but it wasn't flooding.

The normally tranquil Tiber Branch was flowing quickly downtown, but still about four feet below its stone wall banks.

After two days of rain and two-plus inches more expected Friday, the National Weather Service issued a flood warning Friday morning for Howard County until 1:45 p.m.

As most residents know, because most of Main Street is in the 100-year flood plain, the area is prone to flooding. In Sept. 2011, after a flash flood, a river flowed down Main Street damaging businesses and residences in the Historic District.
