finksburg area. either from straight line winds which may have been up to 60 miles to 70 miles an hour or a tornado. the folks from the weather service will certainly be surveying that damage. here is the good news. take a look at doppler. heavy showers and some thunder and lightening but when these storms came through there wasn't a lot of lightning. the good news is, as i will zoom in to washington the watch has gone down for most of the area and shortly go down to you folks into charles county. you are still getting showers down there. boy, when they comethrough, they were really heavy rain and the main feature was that these -- storms came through moving at about 40 miles an hour. look at the wind gusts up at clarksburg, maryland. and the temperature now 70 degrees. the winds, 60 miles an hour. veronica has been here dale and keeping track on a very, very busy weather day up here, too. >> that has. as you know, bob, most of the damage up across northern maryland, frederick county, maryland, and neighboring

carroll county, maryland, where winds up around the bellenger creek, one mile northeast of there, were clocked at 74 miles per hour. also, around the new mket area. quite a bit of structural damage in tha area. same thing for montgomery county. the high winds through the area, mainly north. also 60-mile-per-hour gusts reported four miles northwest of clarksburg and carroll county with the trees down and structural damage that we talked about. the hard wood trees and national weather service assessing that damage around finksburg. probably within the next 24 hours with quite a bit of damage up there and possibly winds between 60 and 70. >> and the main feature was how rapidly these storms had moved through. so they moved through so rapidly now that the watch that was originally up until 9:00 has now been taken down as of 5:00. and take a look at the regional radar. you can see that that line is continuing to race towards the east. there it is now. it is out over the eastern shore. there are still severe thunderstorm watches in new york

and have been catching it, too, with not only severe thunderstorm watches but also some warnings. and wanted to show you the other feature, obviously, on a friday afternoon when woe see this. the airport delays and show that because up around new york city, if you have anyone coming in or traveling up to parts of the northeast, especially around new york city, we are gng to be seeing delays and real long delays throughout the remainder of the afternoon and evening. again, take a look at that wide view of the airport delays. several hours now, there it is, of airport delays and there have been ground holds, obviously, when these storms come through at 40 to 50 miles per hour. but once again, the good news is that we are now no longer under a severe thunderstorm watch. the last of the showers really moving into southern maryland, still with gusting winds and for you folks there, st. mary's county, charles county, northern neck, that watch will probably be going down, too.

it will be still some time recovery and obviously also the damage surveyed to see straight line winds or was it -- indeed a small tornado. the interesting thing in a way was these storms, when they came through, were only the tops at about 15,000 feet. that's the reason they came through with very, very little lightning. but, boy, did they pack a punch when they did come through with a very heavy rain, too. back to you. >> sure did. bob, thank you. a day in court for the suspect accused in the murder of washington intern chandra levy. attorneys for guandique say that they have evidence other people may have been involved. pat collins has been following this case for us. he is here now with more. >> reporter: they didn't mention any names. but in court today the defense attorneys say they have a different theory about who killed chandra levy. yet another twist in the high-profile murder case. in superior court today, the defense attorneys representing the man charged in the murder of chandra levy say they know of r

possible suspects. those defense attorneys represent ingmar guandique the man charged in the death of the washington intern. chanda levy disappeared in may 2001. her remains found in rock creek park a year later. ingmar guandique, charged last march. at the time of his arrest, he was already in jail for attacking two female joggers in rock creek park. prosecutors working the case plan to present evidence of other crimes linked to guandique. p a former cellmate who claims he was raped by guandique. testimony about guandique's alleged lewd behavior in front of female prison guards. and a witness that says guandique talked aut abusing women. and how he would hog tie and rape them if they didn't want him. according to court documents, a mixture of dna was recovered from chandra levy's running

tights. but the dna is not a match for ingmar guandique. now already in this case more than 5,000 pages of information and evidence. there's a lot of legal work yet to be done. wendy? >> pat collins. thanks, pat. an arrest in the attack on a teenager in st. mary's county. sheriffs chaed butlering with secretary-degree assault. he was on work release when he allegedly hurled a chunk of concrete at a moving car. a 15-year-old girl riding in the back seat was hit on cavanaugh road in mechanicsville wednesday and had a fractured skull. the teen was taken to the washington hospital center where she is in stable condition. butler is being held at the deengs center on unrelated charges. investigators are still searching for answers after the devastating fire. gutted the home of peggy cooper

>> reporter: while the sudden funding uncertainty led some dealers in the metro area to suspend cash for clunkers, jennings will stay with the program as long as possible p. >> i hope is to get this stack of deals put into the system. okay. take it as it comes and it would be nice for business if it continues. >> reporter: this customer just got caught in limbo trying to buy early today before word came that congress might add money. >> i was hoping to get the money available but it is not. i hope the money will be extended -- the program will be extended and i will be able to get the new car. >> reporter: there seems to be one universal complaint from dealers and that is the processing these deals through the government website and that soured some dealers on the progm an caused them to question whether the government really knows how many deals are pending out there. reporting live from fairfax, julie carey. back to you. >> all right. julie, thank you. michael vick is closer to paying back some of his debt.

feet. that's the reason you folks saw the damage. probably didn't hear much in the way of thunder. it was obviously a lot of extensive damage. frederick county, tall way from spots eastward into especially the finksburg, carroll county area. look at the temperatures. 73 degrees here. 70s and 60s to our north. when these rains came through, and they were at least welcomed because we had been dry, boy, they did come through with those very brief heavy rains and the super-fast moving storms. now the dew point dropped a bit. there was a little weak weather front coming through but on top of that, very strong winds in the upper level. of course, a bit of spin all of which contributed to those severe thunderstorms and also possible tornado. there you can see originally the watch was until 9:00. here we are. four hours ahead of that 9:00. and it has already gone down because these storms raced through so fast. you folks into southern maryland and very tip around -- st.
