Potrivit CNN, cartiere afectate de inundații sunt același care au fost afectate și acum doi ani, în 2016. Allan Kittleman, directorul Howard County că, acum doi ani inundațiile au lăsat zeci de clădiri moarte și deteriorate. Atunci orașul s-a reunit în jurul sloganului “Elliott City Strong” , iar unii proprietari abia acum și-au terminat reconstrucția, când orașul a fost lovit de noi inundații.
Kittleman a mai spus că până nu au fost raportate informații despre persoane rănite sau decedate.
