A line of severe thunderstorms knocked down several trees, tree limbs, poles and wires in central and eastern Kent County from Worton and Chestertown east through Millington. About 250 Choptank Electric and 100 Delmarva Power and Light customers lost power because of the wind damage. The greatest concentration of outages occurred in Worton when a pole was snapped by the damaging winds.
