SILVER SPRING, Md. — After severe weather brought heavy rain and lightning into the region late Tuesday night, residents are waking up to fallen trees and power outages.

The storm took down branches and power lines — and it even snapped a massive tree in half, sending it crashing into the roof of a home in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Early Wednesday morning, the tree could be seen in jagged pieces, lying horizontal on top of a house on Pierce Drive.

“We had quite a storm,” said Pete Piringer with Montgomery County Fire and Rescue. “We still have a lot of debris in certain areas.”

The home in the 10000 block of Pierce Drive is uninhabitable and the family that lives there is now displaced, according to fire officials.

“Fortunately there were no injuries,” Piringer added.

Less than two miles away at the intersection of Robin Road and Tenbrook Drive, power lines were taken down by another tree that snapped in half. A parked car was tangled in the wires as utility crews worked on the scene.

“It was just intense,” said Bruce Wood, who lives near the fallen power lines. “I didn’t expect it to be as strong as it was.”

The storm even brought a bit of hail and a flash flood warning for D.C., and Montgomery and Prince George’s counties from the National Weather Service that lasted into the morning.

Pepco has also reported power outages for thousands of customers Wednesday morning.

But after the storm, the sun will return Wednesday, followed by low humidity and comfortable temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. For the latest forecast, visit the WTOP Weather Page.
