NOTTINGHAM, MD—Several roads have been shut down and are impassible after strong storms brought down trees and power lines on Tuesday evening.

The hazardous conditions also forced White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company to shut down Tuesday’s food truck event.

More than 100,000 customers have lost power, according to BGE.

The following roads in and around the Nottingham area have been closed or are impassible:

• Harford Road north of Northwind Road
• East Joppa Road between Magledt Road and Simms Road
