Two Dead After Twister Touches Down

(College Park) -- Severe weather, including several possible tornadoes, ripped through the D.C. metro area Monday, killing two people and causing severe destruction on the campus of the University of Maryland at College Park.
A flash flood warning remains in effect until 8:15 p.m. for Frederick County, Md. and Fauquier and Loudoun Counties in Virginia.
These showers and storms were producing torrential rains on the order of 2.0 to 3.0 inches in some locations.
Two died when after the storm picked up their car, smashed it against a high rise building on the campus, trapping them inside, said Prince George's County fire spokesman Mark Brady.
At least four people were hurt when trailers belonging to the Maryland Fire Training Academy near Byrd Stadium were hit, Brady said. Those injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, he said.
Some cars are turned over atop each other, and trees are cracked in half, Brady said.Prince George's County fire spokesman Chauncey Bowers said the Tawes Fine Arts Building at the University of Maryland did not collapse.
Other buildings on the campus were in the direct path of a tornado, causing what he calls "severe destruction," Bowers said.
Bowers said there are still reports of building collapses on Cherry Hill Road and University Boulevard.
The storms blew a roof of an apartment complex in Laurel. Homes also suffered damage, according to callers to WTOP Radio
