Tornado damage in Edgewater area

[maus92]

From the storm at roughly 6pm. So far, wires and trees down are the main issue. November is the coordination tg.

Heavy traffic on Rt. 2 south, traffic signals out.

Units to Harness Creek for a report of a roof off a building.

Seems like the roof is damaged, not off.

The Media have arrived.

A community on the north side of Rt. 2 just west of the bridge is isolated by a power pole down. They are trying to make access to the neighborhood using ATVs and brush trucks.

Mike is also in use coordinating brush trucks and ATV. The brush trucks had to dump their water to make it through yards. So far, no residents are injured.

Yea, I was out in the area today. Mostly tree damage, but a barn on Harness Creek Rd had its metal roof torn off and panels deposited several hundred feet away. Also tree damage at a friends house on Warehouse creek: destroyed the steps leading to their dock (that they just replaced, lol.) Also tree damage in Quiet Waters Park. Saw one tree vs. truck off near South River Landing.
