Prince George's Soaked After Monday's Storms Roll Through

The dark storm clouds created an ominous sky and in the wake of those deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma, area forecasters interrupted primetime television shows urging residents to heed their warnings.

The tornado watches turned to warnings in the southern part of the Prince George's County near Upper Marlboro, but no tornadoes were reported. However in nearby near the border of Carroll County.

And although lights flickered in homes around . As of 11 p.m., less than two dozen homes in Prince George's were reported without power, according to Pepco and Baltimore Gas & Electric's outage maps. BG&E reported more than 1,100 of their customers in the county were without power for a portion of Monday evening.
