Besides outages, some homeowners endured hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in property damage caused by lightning strikes. The Maryland State Fire Marshal noted two such incidents, one in Carroll County, and the other in Garrett. While it took just 10 minutes for little more than a dozen firefighters to put out the flames, it still caused $50,000 in damage. Earlier around 4:15pm, a home along Count Flame Court in Westminster caught fire after its roof was hit by lightning. No one was hurt, unfortunately damage is estimated at $300,000.
