or not. i have to tell you a lot of folks this afternoon we've been here about two hours, they're not heeding that warning, a they're coming through this, and probably within last 20 minutes, it's gotten a lot deeper, we just saw a big truck come thousand, but some of the smaller vehicles are deciding to turn around and go back around. in fact, let's take you to video that was shot not too long ago of this taking place right here along beach drive, many of the cars going through slowly, spee vac my photography and i have watched people gun it going through quickly. this is also beach drive but also a little bit further north from here. that is where maryland park police had beach drive closed off. i'd say this was around the noon hour and as we kind of walk past the police cars, we could see that at the road was covered in

that was going across. today, we talked to one of the drivers who decided it was best probably not to go through. take a listen. >> you never see this road. i've never seen it this flooded. i've driven this eight years and never seen it this deep. so something to see. >> reporter: take a look, this is a park. it typically is a park. this is a soccer field, but all we've seen today are ducks playing on this soccer field. it is covered with water. sarah and jim, just as i started my live shot, take a look who arrived. can you swing the camera back around? just now, a maryland park police officer just pulled up to block this part of the road off. there had been cones in place, but people have gone around those cones and just, as we were speaking, this maryland police officer has pulled up to make sure that no one goes through this water. there's still probably fivor

little bit, it didn't go far enough to coverall the expenses. so this community, these businesses, these residents have really had to rely on the community and state government and county too, so it has been a slow go. a lot of folks had to pull from personal savings so rebuild their businesses. one side of the street took it a little bit harder. this side over here, got the flooding, but they didn't necessarily get the flooding and the river actually running through the businesses. come back out if you're not already. i want to show you this. this is important for the town ellicott city. this is the new clock. the old clock. the clock that was damaged during the flood. it stopped, it has been sent over to the museum. but tomorrow morning, at 11:30 right here they will dedicate this brand new clock. for this town, again, when you talk to these people, it's so emotional for them. makes you think how far they've come in such a one-year's time. they're worn
