After the deadly flooding of 2016, Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman said Ellicott City, Maryland, was reduced to a "war zone" and likened it to the set of a disaster movie. On Monday, Kittleman said  the flooding of 2018  was much nastier. Authorities were still in the assessment stage on a soggy Memorial Day, trying to determine exactly how much worse. Particularly worrying, Kittleman said, is a 25- to 30-foot-wide hole just north of Main Street, where the ground and road   appear to have buckled under the weight of the flooding. "There are a lot of people whose lives are going to be devastated again, and they've been working so hard to come back and we just need to be there for them and to tell them ... all of our resources are there to help them," Kittleman said. "I can't imagine what they're going through. I couldn't imagine what they went through two years ago, and now it's even worse." The first concern is peop

On to the Finals! Our Cavs are NBA Eastern Conference Champs THAT’S IT!!!!! Cavs 83, Celtics 74 BOSTON (AP) — The NBA Eastern Conference finals will be decided tonight in Boston. The Celtics are hosting the Cavaliers in Game 7 of a series in which the home team has won every game. Cleveland’s LeBron James hopes to change that as he tries to get to the NBA Finals for the eighth straight year. Cavaliers All-Star forward Kevin Love has a concussion and will miss Game 7. Love banged heads with Boston rookie Jayson Tatum in the first quarter of Game 6 and did not play again. The Cavaliers overcame his loss and won 109-99 to force Game 7. Love is Cleveland’s second-leading scorer and one of four players left from the 2016 NBA title team.

How will Cleveland Cavaliers adjust in Game 7 without Kevin Love? *  Tonight on ESPN:  Game 7, Cavaliers vs. Celtics (8:30 ET) BOSTON  – No Love for LeBron in Boston. So what else is new? OK, so this time there is a difference. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are back facing not merely an unwelcoming attitude but a personnel crisis. Kevin Love, All-Star forward and the Cavs’ generally acceded second-best player since Kyrie Irving switched sides in this heated Eastern Conference rivalry, was  placed in the NBA’s concussion protocol Saturday  and has been ruled out of Game 7 of the East finals Sunday night at TD Garden ( 8:30 ET, ESPN ). On paper, stripping away Cleveland’s top rebounder (9.8 per game) and second-leading scorer (12.5) from an elimination game would seem to deal a severe blow to his team’s shot at winning and reaching a fourth consecutive NBA Finals. On parquet, maybe not so much. Love shot 37.5 percent overall and made only se
