Stormy weather knocked down trees, power lines, and took out power for tens of thousands of Marylanders on Thursday.

These strong to severe storms swept through the state with damaging winds, torrential downpours, and flooding in some areas.

According to the National Weather Service, some parts of Maryland had hail and wind gusts of up to 70 mph.

Maryland storm damage

Anne Arundel County and Prince George's County were hit the hardest by Thursday's storms.

A video shared on social media showed relentless rain pouring on Glen Burnie.

"The thunder and lightning was really bad, and the rain was coming down really hard," said Julie, an Anne Arundel County resident. "It was horrible." 

In Davidsonville, drivers dodged branches as downed trees blocked the road. In Severna Park, traffic was backed up along Ritchie Highway as crews worked quickly to remove branches and downed power lines.

Some Maryland residents were trapped inside an animal hospital.

"It was crazy," said John, an Anne Arundel County resident. "It's just coming out of nowhere, raining like real hard."
