Several tornado warnings were issued for Howard, Frederick and Montgomery counties earlier Friday, but have since expired. However, they left behind significant damage in some areas.
Here's a look at thunderstorm wind damage reports from the severe system that pushed through this morning. We'll have a look at some of the damage coming up on #WJZ at noon! While we're done with the storms, strong winds will be with us through the day. #Baltimore #MDWX pic.twitter.com/PPiAkpj1J5

Now, National Weather Service surveyors will determine if a tornado or straight-line winds caused the damage.
Although the storms are over, a wind advisory is in effect for most of the state until 3 p.m.
Gov, Larry Hogan said MEMA’s activation level has been raised to “enhanced” and that state officials are assessing the damage.
“I urge Marylanders to take extreme caution should they encounter flooding, debris, or downed power lines— remember, never drive through standing water,” Hogan also tweeted.
I have just been briefed by emergency management officials regarding the severe storms and heavy winds that affected much of our region this morning. The @MDMEMA activation level has been raised to Enhanced, and we are carefully assessing the damage in areas across the state. https://t.co/bVqJfsZlKS

HOW TO STAY SAFE DURING A TORNADO WARNING
Residents were encouraged to take cover in a sturdy building on the lowest level possible during the tornado warnings.
You should try to go to a windowless interior room. If that is not possible, stay away from all windows and try to be in the center of the room.
WJZ’s weather team will continue to track the systems.
