Storm devastates county as six die in state disaster
A severe storm lashed the region causing widespread damage across Frederick and Washington counties. Bridges and tracks on the Baltimore and Ohio line were washed out between Augusta and Stonebrokers, delaying trains. Flooded creeks, ruined barns, uprooted trees, and damaged homes were reported from Beavertown to Brunswick. Hail, heavy rain, and a cloudburst at Brunswick flooded roads and water mains, with Potomac rising and many areas left impassable. Two inches of rain fell in May, lightning sparked small fires, and the storm disrupted power and school operations.
