Strong storms moved through the region Thursday, dumping rain, bringing powerful wind and spinning off at least one tornado in Maryland. The storms prompted tornado warnings Thursday evening, the last of which expired at 6:30 p.m.
A tornado was confirmed in Edgewater, Maryland, and the NWS may check a few other areas, Storm Team4 Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer said.
A neighborhood in Edgewater off Virginia Avenue and Solomons Island Road was inaccessible to first responders Thursday evening because of the amount of downed trees and power lines, according to the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. Crews are working to make a room for ATVs into the neighborhood. No injuries were reported.
Earlier, traffic slowed down on Interstate 270 due to the downpour.
Fallen trees, power outages and flooded roads have been reported.
