A severe weather outbreak saw storms stretched from the Deep South to the Northeast US.
Unusually rough thunderstorms brought widespread power outages and extensive damage to the East Coast on Monday, August 7. Widespread power outages affected 150,000 people across the region.
The storms, which left two people dead and stalled traffic for hours due to downed power lines, was much stronger than usual thunderstorms that hit the East Coast.
Five tornado watches were issued, along with countless severe storm warnings. The warnings ranged from more tornado warnings to flash flood and high wind warnings.
In Virginia, grapefruit-sized hail measuring 4.75 inches was reported. In Indiana, EF-1 tornado damage was reported. It is unclear if one or multiple tornadoes caused the damage.
The risk of storms is still possible as the week goes on.
