Monday’s storms brought down the temperatures, but not before triggering a string of weather advisories, including two tornado warnings in Maryland.
Damage from the storms caused major delays during Monday’s afternoon rush as downed power lines blocked lanes on Interstate 270 in the Hyattstown, Maryland, area.
In the second round of storms that happened Monday night, D.C. Fire and EMS were at the scene of a fire caused by a downed power line.
