Severe Storm Damages Several College Park Homes
Just after 5pm the Daniels Park, Hollywood and North College Park sections of College Park experienced and extremely concentrated and violent weather event. Violent winds and hail, working in conjunction with soil saturated by weeks of rain, caused trees to uproot and tree limbs to fall. Several homes suffered damage from toppled trees while isolated power outages resulted when high tension lines were struck by falling branches.
