What the National Weather Service wrote

Hundreds of trees blew down around Reisterstown, including many onto houses and cars.

The wider storm

A subtle remnant disturbance from prior day's convection over the Midwest amplified a pre-existing lee pressure trough, igniting numerous thunderstorms. Given the excessive hot, humid, and unstable environment, these thunderstorms were able to organize into clusters and lines despite a lack of stronger wind shear.

Began near St Georges (39.4507, -76.7995).
