Photos: Strong storms bring heavy rain, damaging winds and tornado warning to Maryland

A line of strong storms moved through Maryland on Monday, bringing heavy rain, damaging winds and a tornado warning to parts of the state.

The storms knocked down trees and power lines, knocked out power in some areas and left residents cleaning up their yards.

As of 8 p.m. Monday, more than 25,500 Baltimore Gas & Electric (BGE) customers were without power, with the majority of outages reported in Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Howard County.

Shortly after 4 p.m., a tornado warning was issued for parts of Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Howard, Baltimore and Carroll counties.

Tuesday will be another Alert Day for another round of strong storms.
