May 11, 2024 Severe Storm Garrett County

A severe storm that pushed from Fayette in to Garrett County around 8-8:30pm. Contained hail, strong winds, lots of thunder and lightning. The brunt of the damage looks to have occurred around the Bear Creek area near Sam Friend Rd and extending towards Bittinger.
