BAY CITY, Md. (AP) - Officials on Maryland's Eastern Shore are asking residents to shelter in place after severe weather overnight caused extensive damage and knocked out power to thousands.
Queen Anne's County Emergency Services Director Scott Haas said at a news conference early Monday that emergency workers have transported one person with a puncture wound that wasn't considered life-threatening. He says officials are headed out to assess the damage.
Officials asked people to shelter in place to avoid downed wires. Delmarva Power says about 8,000 customers in the county are without power.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, tweets that a decision on a storm survey will be made later in the morning after coordination with local officials.
