From Times Wire Reports
A water main rupture flooded a Baltimore residential neighborhood 5 feet deep, floating cars down streets and forcing dozens of people to flee their homes, some of them by boat. Seventeen homes were condemned by the city because of water damage, and part of one street collapsed and swallowed a car after the main broke Friday shortly before midnight. At least 30 other homes were damaged, a city official said. No injuries were reported. The cause was not known yet, Fire Department spokesman Hector Torres said.
