Early Wednesday morning, remnants of Hurricane Ida unleashed heavy rainfall and caused unprecedented flooding at several locations around the region, including right here in Montgomery County.
At the Rock Creek Woods Apartments in Rockville, county emergency response officials say one person died, while another remains unaccounted for.
According to officials, more than 150 residents across the county have been displaced. Local leaders react to the devasting weather event and explain the resources available for those in need.
The Mid-County Recreation Center in Silver Spring has been designated for residents displaced by flooding. Several efforts are in place in response to flooding resulting from the remnants of Hurricane Ida. Officials say there will be "intense levels" of rainfall today. @mymcmedia
