Several cars were devoured by the earth below Wednesday afternoon after a block-long landslide in a residential neighborhood in northeastern Baltimore, The Associated Press reported.
"It looks like downtown Baltimore reported nearly 4.5 inches of rain since through 5 p.m. EDT," AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek said. "The heaviest rain in Baltimore should be (through) the first part of tonight. But there can be one more flare-up late tonight."
The Baltimore Fire Department tweeted that it impacted CSX railroad tracks, stopping traffic along with the evacuation of several houses along 26th Street.
No injuries have been reported, according to the fire department.

A lot of stratocumulus clouds here in Wichita. They often make for the most gorgeous sunsets. Hopefully that is the case this evening!
