The knock Lang got on her door Wednesday night certainly wasn't good news.
Her little Mini Cooper, parked at East Lombard and South Wolfe streets, was a victim of the storms that quickly moved through the entire Baltimore metro, bringing trees down onto power lines, causing flash floods and even knocking out power at some intersections.
The storms moved from west to east, producing wind gusts over 60 mph in some places, heavy rain and minor flooding.
On East Cold Spring Lane and East 43rd Street, there were downed power lines and debris right after the storms moved through, and there was flooding in Reisterstown.
At the height of it, thousands of customers were without power.
"It's annoying," said Lang.
Lang is now getting ready for lots of headaches and a search for new transportation.
"I have to wait for the city to come move the tree, and you know, I've already called my insurance (company) and filed a claim, and I guess we'll go from there. Looks totaled to me, so I'll have to get a new car, I guess," said Lang.
The Foundry Center apartments, across from the Foundry in Owings Mills, was struck by lightening Wednesday night, ripping bricks from the side of the building. A large tree was also downed by strong winds in front of the building.The building was condemned. Residents were put into hotels and are looking for new places to live.
