BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Tropical Storm Isaias moved out of Maryland early Tuesday afternoon, leaving behind storm damage and power outages in its wake.

One person died as a result of the storm when a tree fell on a moving car in St. Mary’s County.

The storm brought strong winds and heavy rains across the state, triggering tornado warnings and watches — that have since been canceled — but not before several tornadoes were reported around the state.

One tornado touched down in Mardela Springs in Wicomico County, uprooting a home just after 6 a.m. A second tornado touched down just north of Girdletree, Maryland, at 7:20 a.m.

1. Wow...that was fast...storm pulling away from DC w/ brightening skies just after 11a Tuesday.

Still raining hard in Baltimore but will taper there in about an hour. Storm is racing NNE at 35 mph.

What did you think of this storm? How much rain did you see? Did it underperform or overperform for you?
