Storms Cause Minor Damage In Local Area

A line of thunderstorms moved through the Eastern Shore at about 4:30 Tuesday afternoon accompanied by high winds and in one area hail.


The storms hit causing two tractor trailers to be overturned on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. One was on the northbound trestle and the other on the southbound lane.


In the Atlantic area heavy winds, and hail and at least one unofficial report of a funnel cloud citing were reported.


Elsewhere there were reports of tree branches down in the Leemont area and one tree that partially obstructed traffic on the road near Drummonds Mill Pond.


The storms passed quickly but stronger storms south of here caused damage in the Tidewater area with power outages and downed trees.
