Closely 300,000 without power, 2 dead after severe storms in Eastern US - USA Trending Blog
More than 300,000 homes and businesses in the eastern United States were without power Tuesday after powerful thunderstorms battered the region, killing at least two people and cancelling thousands of flights.
Severe thunderstorms and winds in excess of 60 mph caused damage in southern Pennsylvania, central Maryland and northern Virginia, Andrew Orrison, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in College Park, Maryland, told USA TODAY. The storms toppled trees, sent power lines crashing into roads and some homes and ripped roofs from buildings, according to preliminary reports from the National Weather Service.
We saw the clouds coming and could hear a rumbling in the distance,” Don Tomovich, whose home was damaged, told 6ABC-TV in Philadelphia. “We went into the house and we were on the first floor, and before we could blink an eye the winds just came right through the back of our house.”
Orrison said there were numerous reports of golf ball-sized hail across the mid-Atlantic and flash flooding in the Baltimore metropolitan area as the storms swept through. The Knoxville Utilities Board said on X, formerly Twitter, the damage across its service area in Tennessee was “widespread and extensive” and will likely take several days to repair.
