The chief spokesperson for Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service said on X there is tornado damage in the area of Montgomery County, with at least three structures having collapsed. Officials were working to get those trapped out, the spokesperson said.

A flood watch has also been issued for the D.C.-Baltimore area through 10 p.m. ET due to heavy rain expected to move through the region. Up to 4 inches of rain will be possible locally, which could cause some flooding.
