Cooler Temperatures For The Area.......So Far

A large series of thunderstorms struck the Eastern Shore last night. The storms caused winds of at least 47 mph recorded at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, requiring level two wind restrictions. Motorcycles, large pick-up campers, camper trailers, house trailers, anything being towed, vehicles with exterior cargo, empty tractor-trailers, small six-wheel trucks, such as moving vans, rental trucks and school buses were not allowed to cross while the restrictions are in place.
