Next weekend marks the sixth anniversary of Tropical Storm Isabel's deadly tromp across Central Maryland. The storm made landfall Sept. 18 near Ocracoke, N.C. with top winds of 105 mph. It quickly weakened. But Isabel's storm surge flooded the Chesapeake waterfront, including Baltimore, Annapolis and many bayshore communities. Seven people died in Maryland, and damages came to more than $1 billion.
