a few heavier downpours. can't rule out clap of thunder. mostly it's over. the blue icons you see spread over the screen, these indicate the area of the storm report. most of those are blue areas that represent regions that the trees or branches are down in the area. we have had wind gusts from 50 to 52 miles per hour across the area. that is not technically severe but enough to do damage. this storm is intensifying moving across the eastern shore. plenty of lightning. tremendous lightning and the heavy rain to head up across northern delaware and in to southern new jersey part of a storm complex affecting the east coast as the watches are running through northern main. the temperatures have been a big change in the day. we went from feels like temperature of 90 to the air temperatures now in the low to mid-70's. that is nice. the best part of all of this is storm lower humidity. we will talk about the rest of the week and the weekend. the next ten days in 10 or 12

jonathan: look forward to it. thank you. kevin lewis is driving around in mobiletrak7 in the height of the storm. he is live in silver spring where trees are down and there is damage left behind. kevin? kevin: the neighborhood here along dennis avenue in silver spring close to montgomery high school took the brunted of all of this -- brunt of all of this. this is the worst damage across montgomery county. look at the large tree limb in the family's front yard. that has to be 20 feet long, 20 feet wide. montgomery county police blocking this portion of dennis avenue. that is why. there is a huge portion of a tree that pulled down electrical wires. i'm told right now that the wires that come down and into the grass lawn are still hot. the electric company has not turned them off. at least half a dozen cars damaged. there is one here that has its rear window shattered

badly damaged. the families that were inside at the time are not able to live in them because they are structurally not sound. at least one person had to be assisted out of their home by firefighters. that individual is at the hospital. as to what caused all of this, emergency workers don't know. the thought being there might have been straight line winds that came out of this storm that we saw this afternoon. you can see about half a dozen people standing on the sidewalk. it looks like one woman trying to take a photo with her cell phone. a lot of people are out here coming home from work. really just amazed at the amount of damage in the neighborhood.

next door to a half that had to be evacuate and is not safe to live in. >> i came home and i looked at it. the fire engine was here. he said if they come home don't let them in the house. kevin: we were there as the montgomery county firefighters went inside the home and took out a fish that was in a tank. are youee nited -- reunited it with the homeowners so they can care for the pet. they are now calling the homeowners insurance company to figure out how much it will cost and what is covered. live in silver spring, i'm kevin lewis, abc7 news. jonathan: that is a headache. when storms like this come through the area and we experience what we did today know about them early. get prepared by going to wjla.com/text. you will get text alerts. all you have to do is sign up for stormwatch7 alerts that will be sent to your phone or your pad as well. happening now we are stand big for

hail to the redskins." now the lincoln memorial reflecting pool now refilled after a deep cleaning. it needed it. it was drained this month because of a parasite killing some of the ducks and the ducklings. this is a pool that stretches eight acres and it holds gallons of water. tranquil. good place to go. the duck and the duckals love to go as well -- the ducks and the ducklings love to go as well. the weather is not good for the trees along the national mall. some are brittle and they can snap when the strong winds kick up. we sent q mccray to take a closer look. q: national park service crews had their hands full today. not one, not two, but three trees. this one snapped near the potomac. the top of the maple dropped near the washington monument. then there is a massive american elm. >> i'm not sure what to think. did it fall?
