What happened
The episode as NWS LWX wrote it up.
A thunderstorm that produced damaging winds moved through northern Anne Arundel County during the afternoon of the 29th. The storm produced a brief downburst of winds in excess of 60 MPH over the Severn Heights and Belleview Estates area of Severna Park and Arnold. Four homes received a total of $150,000 damage after large trees were downed onto them. One of the damaged homes was on Hillcrest Lane and the others were on Rio Lane. A 125-foot-tall tree was downed across Hillcrest Lane, blocking the only way out of the development. Other large trees and branches were felled across yards. Power outages plagued these communities for over 24 hours.
