This has been one potent storm crossing the country with destruction from California to the Southeast. We had a few rounds of heavy rain with lightning and thunder in Maryland as well. Some of that rain lingers this morning, but it will be moving away. We will take a look at the live radar, simulation, and wind forecast after recapping the tornado outbreak in Alabama!
