Catastrophic floods struck Old Ellicott City 10 years ago, changing the mill town forever

The massive flood that swept away two lives in Old Ellicott City 10 years ago next week altered the old mill town forever.

Most of those businesses are gone.

The county is spending $350 million to build a flood diversion tunnel and stormwater ponds.

There are flood warning horns and signs pointing to higher ground.

And the recovery is ongoing.
