Tragedy Strikes as Storm Floods Ravage Maryland
A 13-year-old boy died after being trapped in a storm drain in Maryland during heavy rainfall causing flash floods on the East Coast. Rescues were also needed for submerged cars. Several areas, including New York and Virginia, experienced power outages, and flights faced delays amid continuing storms.
A devastating incident unfolded in Maryland as a 13-year-old boy was swept into a storm drain during intense rainfall on the East Coast, leading to his tragic death. Rescues from submerged vehicles further highlighted the chaos caused by the heavy rains and flooding, officials reported.
In Mount Airy, children playing in the rain faced sudden danger as floodwaters surged, sweeping the boy into a pipe. Despite desperate rescue attempts, the strength of the water prevented saving him in time, according to Doug Alexander of the Mount Airy Volunteer Fire Company.
The storm's aftermath saw widespread disruption, including power outages for thousands across multiple states and flight cancellations. With ongoing weather warnings, authorities urged people to stay off roads, and residents in low-lying areas were advised to seek higher ground.
