Floods Maryland

Tropical Storm Danielle churned up the East Coast on Friday with 45 m.p.h. winds, prompting some residents of low-lying areas of Maryland to flee to higher ground. About 20 residents of St. George Island, Md., along the Potomac River, left for several hours after the storm dumped nine inches of water on roads, a state Emergency Management Agency official said.

Four people apparently drowned and another was killed by lightning as flash floods and storms continued to plague Maryland and Pennsylvania. On Wednesday, Orion James, 36, died in Baltimore after he was struck by lightning at a construction site. Karen D. Roman, 36, of Emmitsburg, Md., was swept from her car on a water-covered bridge and discovered a mile downstream, and the body of an unidentified man was found in the Patapsco River in Catonsville, Md.
