A strong storm caused massive damage in Maryland, USA. A home in the College Park area of Maryland was nearly split in two by the force of the storm. The strangest thing about it is that there was one person inside the house when the accident happened. Pictures of the house are already viral on the internet. However, if we see the current condition of the house, we will think that there is no way for the person inside to escape. However, he was saved by the arrival of the fire force personnel in time.
The video of the incident was first posted on the Internet by a reporter from ABC News Media. Tom Rousey posted a video of the destroyed house on Twitter. Tom captioned his video: “Feeling absolutely incredible. Let’s say this house in College Park was split in two by the storm. I spoke with two students at the University of Maryland. They said that a friend of theirs lives in the house. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital. Hope he recovers.”
He also shared a picture showing what the house looked like before the storm. We can understand the depth of the tragedy only if we see these two. The part of the house that leans to a corner and touches the ground is actually the second floor. The first floor has been disintegrated beyond recognition.
However, he was saved by the arrival of the fire brigade in time. His friends said that seeing the state of the house, they could not even imagine what their friend was inside. Meteorologist Bill Kelly said straight-line gusts of 70 miles per hour were expected. He added that the house may have split in two due to strong winds.
One user said, “I live in Maryland and there are frequent storms, especially in the summer. But last night’s was very intense. It’s not normal to see such extreme winds.” Another commented that he could not even imagine the damage. Last Tuesday, Maryland and Washington in the US were hit by strong lightning and heavy storms. This resulted in power outages in parts of Maryland and Washington. In addition, the fire/EMS department also tweeted that they received about 360 emergency calls following the storm.
