Powerful storms unleashed wind, rain and hail and caused thousands to lose power.
In a dramatic episode, a motorist was trapped in an auto amid rising water on Brighton Dam Road in the Brookeville area of Montgomery County, according to the county fire and rescue service.
Trees toppled in many spots under winds that gusted into the 40 mph range and above, as waves of storms, with lightning and thunder, rolled westward across Prince William, Fairfax and Arlington Counties in Virginia, and into Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland, as well as into the District.,
At least some of the energy that powered the storms came from the heat of recent days. At Dulles International Airport, the temperature reached the 90s for the second consecutive day.After tying a record there Saturday, the heat set a record at Dulles on Sunday. The thermometer did not go far into the 90s, halting at 91, according to the National Weather Service, but that eclipsed the record for May 22 of 89 degrees, set only last year.
