Storms Bring High Winds to the Atlantic States

Planes were flipped over in Trenton-Mercer airport in Ewing, New Jersey.


The east coast has been hit hard by bad whether and in turn there are 82,000 people without power which can be detrimental as the nights are very cold this time of year.  The quick moving storm moved through the east coast and with it brought 55 mph winds which flipped several small planes and damaged other at Trenton-Mercer airport in Ewing, New Jersey.  Seven planes in all were severely damaged by the high winds.  In Maryland storms damaged 200 or more residences because of high winds and a tornado is even though to have touched down but it is still being determined by the National Weather Service.  The storm also reached to Charlestown, West Virginia where a Wal-Mart sustained damages as high winds knocked over trees and destroyed shopping cart kiosks.  No injuries have yet to be reported in these storm but many peoples livelihoods have been damaged as the clean up process or "Stage 3" of the disaster will now take place and for many it could take months or more than a year to get things back to normal.
