| episode_narrative | Afternoon temperatures in the 90s and very muggy air led to the development of thunderstorms across North Central Maryland which produced heavy downpours, frequent lightening, and damaging winds in excess of 55 MPH. The storms moved through Washington, Frederick, Carroll, and Howard Counties between 3:30 PM and 5:30 PM EDT. An observer near Westminster reported 1.5 inches of rainfall in 45 minutes. In Washington County, large tree limbs were downed by severe winds onto Interstate 68 near Boonsboro and on Shepherdstown Pike near Sharpsburg. In Frederick County, trees and power lines were downed onto Route 180 at the intersection of Mt. Zion Road, Main Street in New Market, Route 75 between Route 80 and Ed McClain Road, and Route 144. A concentrated area of tree damage also occurred between Monrovia and Bartholows Road. The city of Monrovia was hit especially hard. One home lost part of its roof when several trees fell onto the structure. A car in the driveway was also damaged by a fallen tree. A nearby 150 year old log home valued at $130,000 was hit by lightning and burned to the ground. The fire department reported delays reaching te structure because of roads blocked by downed trees. In the city of Frederick, one house was damaged and 22 intersections were blocked by fallen trees. 150,000 customers in and around Frederick County lost power as a direct result of the storm. Winds gusted to 69 MPH at 4:30 PM EDT at Mt. Airy in Carroll County. Several trees were downed near Mt. Airy and Sykesville, including one that fell across busy Interstate 70 near mile marker 72. The storm was still powerful enough to topple a handful of trees in the western part of Howard County. By the time the storms reached Baltimore County, lightning was the biggest threat. 21,000 customers in the county lost power due to electrical surges directly related to the storm. |
