Some brave citizens in from Maryland’s low-lying town of Ellicott City have formed a human chain to save a woman trapped in deadly flood waters.
The footage captured by local resident Sara Ardaitti shows four men pulling a woman to safety from her black sedan as the fast moving waters threatened to wash the vehicle away with the woman inside it.

A spokesman for Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman, told AAP that the town received nearly 7 inches of rain, including nearly 6 inches between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
“This is by far the worst devastation Ellicott City has seen in decades,” Kittleman told WBAL-AM.
