The rainfall from Tropical Storm Lee has ravaged the town of Upper Marlboro and areas closer to Largo. The intersection of Largo Road and Marlboro Pike is closed due to massive flooding. The county fire department has used boats to rescue people from their homes.

As Fox 5 reports, the Ford dealership along Pennsylvania Avenue is under water as a result of the downpours. The County Administration Building is closed. This afternoon, a representative of County Executive Rushern L. Baker III took pictures of the building's surrounding area and posted it to his Twitter feed.

We curated those pictures and posted them here for your convenience.
