(CNN) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency Sunday in Howard County as a massive storm drenched the Baltimore region, triggering flash floods in Ellicott City.

Brown water rushed through Ellicott City's Main Street, toppling buildings and sweeping up cars like toys. In some areas, water levels reached above the first floor of buildings, Howard County Fire and EMS said.

.........

Multiple rescues are under way. Howard County Fire and EMS urged residents to evacuate downtown or move to higher ground while rescue teams swarmed the area. No injuries have been reported.

The Roger Carter Community Center is open for those who need a place to shelter.
