Severe Winds Cause Widespread Disruption Across Region
Severe winds have led to significant disruptions across the Montgomery County and the surrounding DMV area. The high winds have downed trees and wires, damaged homes, and disrupted traffic, with reports indicating that over 115,000 customers were left without power. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge was temporarily closed due to the dangerous conditions, along with other local bridges, exacerbating traffic issues. Authorities reported multiple incidents, including a tree falling through the roof of an occupied bedroom and several homes being impacted by falling trees. While many areas remain affected, updates confirm that some bridges have since reopened.
