The FOX 5 Weather Team says three separate reports of tornadoes were made Wednesday – one on the Eastern Shore, one in Charles County and a third in the Annapolis area -- as severe storms struck.
In Annapolis, about 100 homes and businesses were damaged by powerful winds that also brought down tree limbs and power lines. Utility crews say to report all downed wires and to treat them all as if they were live.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan visited Annapolis and Edgewater Thursday to assess the storm damage firsthand.
