Saturday's Storm

For those wondering what happened last Saturday, March 8, a severe thunderstorm raked through Frederick County. I was in downtown Frederick coming from the YMCA that afternoon, and saw very small hail (bb to pea size) and one cloud-to-ground lightning strike. It was very gusty. On MD 144 (Old National Pike) near Terra Firma Road, I saw a cop car sitting in the westbound right lane where a tree had fallen, blocking that lane.

Also, on my way to work on Sunday morning, I saw a line crew working on Ijamsville Road near MD 80. The FNP has written a few stories on it. There were numerous power outages.
