Video: Strong winds lead to downed trees, property damage

NINE
HOURS SINCE THE STORM.
IN WOODLAWN, CHUNKS OF ROOF ARE
STILL BLOWING AROUND OUT HERE.
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT IT
MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE FOR WORKERS
AT THE SOCIAL SECURITY
ADMINSTRATION'S EASTSIDE TOWER,
WHEN THEIR OFFICE WINDOWS
SUDDENLY SHATTERED AS HIGH WINDS
RIPPED ROOFING MATERIALS AND A
SATELITTE DISH OFF THE BUILDING,
SENDING THE DEBRIS CRASHING TO A
COURTYARD BELOW.
>> IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A
WHIPPING, WHIRLING EFFECT THAT
WE WERE SEEING OUTSIDE.
ADAM: EMPLOYEES WERE TOLD TO
SHELTER IN PLACE.
ONE WORKER WAS INJURED AND TAKEN
TO NEARBY SAINT AGNES HOPSITAL
BY AMBULANCE.
WORKERS IN ANOTHER BUILDING SAW
TREE BRANCHES CRASH DOWN ON
CARS.
>> WE WORK ON THE 8TH FLOOR, THE
TREES WERE JUST BLOWING IN THE
WIND.
ADAM: ACROSS THE BALTIMORE
REGION, NUMEROUS TREES SNAPPED
IN THE WIND, SOME BRINGING DOWN
POWERLINES.
BGE REPORTS MORE THAN 37,000
CUSTOMERS LOST POWER, WITH THE
MAJORITY IN ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY,
BALTIMORE COUNTY, AND THE CITY.
IN HOWARD COUNTY, A FEW SMALL
STRUCTURES AT THE DAY'S END FARM
HORSE RESCUE WERE DAMAGED, THE
WINDS STRONG ENOUGH TO FLIP
HEAVY HORSE TRAILERS.
SKY TEAM 11 WAS ALSO OVER THIS
DOWNED TREE THAT FELL ACROSS THE
JONES FALLS EXPRESSWAY NEAR
NORTHERN PARKWAY.
WINDS FASTER THAN A CAR SPEEDING
DOWN THE HIGHWAY LEFT COMMUTERS
STALLED IN TRAFFIC.
BACK HERE AT THE SOCIAL SECURITY
CAMPUS, THE FIRE HAD A SOCIAL
SECURITY IS THERE ON THE
BUILDING IS STILL TICKED OFF.
IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THERE ARE
ANY CLEANUP EFFORTS UNDERWAY
LATEST -- LATE THIS EVENING.
