Tornado Confirmed Near Washington, D.C., By Colesville, Maryland (PHOTOS) (UPDATED)

Woman Struck By Lightning

Thursday's storm may not have been a derecho, but it sure had its alarming moments.

Spokesman Ed McDonough says there have been no reports of injuries from the storms Thursday afternoon. He says a woman was struck by lightning in Cecil County Thursday morning.

McDonough says tornadoes were reported near Olney in Montgomery County, Laurel in Prince George's County and Snow Hill in Worcester County on the Eastern Shore.

The National Weather Service says it can't confirm any tornadoes before taking a close look at the damage.

The woman struck by lightning was working at a zoo, according to the Baltimore News Journal, which reports that she was in stable condition after being transported to the hospital.

The greater D.C. area was under a tornado warning. But as of just after 4:30 p.m., D.C. and environs were mostly given the all-clear.

And here's what people in D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia saw before the mostly-clear:
