episode_narrativeThunderstorms brought a plethora of problems to Cecil County during the evening of the 26th. A severe thunderstorm pulled down several trees in Elkton. Most of the damage occurred around the Cecil County Historical Society Building. At least one vehicle was damaged. Frequent lightning caused power outages and set three house on fire. In addition, about 5,000 homes and businesses lost power in Cecil and Harford Counties. Torrential rains also fell in the western half of the county and caused flash flooding. Doppler Radar Storm total estimates reached four inches from Charlestown to Bayview. The torrential rain in Charlestown caused a house wall to collapse. Many roads were closed including Maryland State Route 7 and U.S. Route 40 around North East and Charlestown. Many motorists became stranded and had to be rescued.
