Thousands were left without power Saturday across the D.C. region as a low pressure system brought showers, and thunderstorms, and tornado-friendly conditions.
However, there was no confirmed tornado touchdown.
Fairfax officials reported three home cave-ins because of downed trees, a water rescue in the Potomac River, and dozens of down electrical wires, Dan Schmidt, a fire department spokesman, told the Associated Press.
Fairfax County Police reported 23 road closures across the county and multiple downed power lines. George Mason University reported a power failure at their Fairfax campus shortly before 5 p.m. Service was restored over an hour later. County fire officials say that only minor injuries have been reported.
Viewer Robert Mann sent in video of the storm as it rolled through Adams Morgan.
Elsewhere in the region, 12 people were injured while trying to evacuate the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, which was hosting the Prince George's County Fair. News4's Darcy Spencer reported that four of the injured were hospitalized. The Associated Press reported that none of the injuries were life-threatening.
