| episode_narrative | A thunderstorm producing very heavy rainfall, winds over 55 MPH, large hail, and frequent lightning moved across Allegany County between 7:30 and 8:30 PM EDT. A lightning strike started a house fire on Frederick Street in Cumberland at 7:45 PM EDT. One person was reported injured as a result of the fire. Lightning also struck the 1st Presbyterian Church, damaging electrical equipment. Dime sized hail fell in Cumberland at 7:50 PM EDT. County officials also reported wind gusts downed several trees on the west side of Cumberland around 7:50 PM EDT. Between 1.25 and 2.00 inches of rain fell across the county in less than one hour, causing water levels to rise rapidly. A co-op observer in Cumberland reported 1.15 inches of rain fell in only 10 minutes around 8:00 PM EDT. This deluge of water flooded basements and led to high water closures on several roads in Cumberland and across the county. Several cars were stuck in water at the Virginia Avenue underpass in Cumberland. Green Street and Henderson Avenue were also impassable after the storm. Several manhole covers were blown off by rapidly rising water in both Cumberland and Frostburg. Roads in the western end of the county required maintenance after mud and debris settled on road margins after being washed onto the roadway. |
