| episode_narrative | Scattered thunderstorms developed during the early afternoon of the 18th across Central Maryland. Some of the storms produced damaging winds, very heavy downpours, and frequent lightning. In Anne Arundel County, lightning struck at least 10 homes, caused 35,000 power outages, and started five brush fires. A home sustained major damage in Arnold after lightning struck the metal cap of a chimney and started the roof on fire. In Glen Burnie, a lightning strike caused 3 fires on all three levels of a home on Vista Ave. High winds blew through open roll-up doors on the front of an industrial building in Hanover and the resulting pressure blew out a portion of a concrete wall on the back of the structure. Pieces of the wall were blown up to 40 feet away, and debris damaged cars in the parking lot. A few people inside the structure were blown to the ground by the wind. Nearby at BWI Airport, a gust of 52 MPH was recorded. High winds were also responsible for downing 20 electrical wires and for pushing a tree onto a house. Marble sized hail was reported in Odenton. Heavy downpours flooded 20 basements and numerous roads were covered in water. Route 424 and Crain Highway were flooded. Rainfall reports included 5.23 inches in Crofton, nearly 4 inches in Severna Park, 3.50 inches near Benfield, and 2.83 inches at Millersville. In Harford County, tow homes were damaged by fires resulting from lightning strikes. A home on Phillips Mill Road sustained damage to outer walls after lighting struck. On Old Rocks Road, lightning struck a tree and traveled underground along electrical wiring into a home and a barn. The bolt blew siding off the home, damaged the ceiling of the basement, and caused electrical damage to the barn. |
