Eastern US Storms Leave 2 Dead, 2M Without Power - WMDT 47 News - Delmarva's Choice

UNDATED (AP) - Police in northern Virginia say two people have been killed by falling trees in massive storms that wiped out power to more than 2 million people across the eastern United States.
    
Fairfax County police spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings says one of the victims was a 90-year-old woman who was asleep in bed Friday night when heavy winds blew a tree onto her house in Springfield. Another death was reported in Springfield when a tree collapsed onto a car.
    
In addition, a park police officer was injured by a falling tree and an 18-year-old man was struck by a power line. He was in stable condition after receiving CPR.
    
Power outages were reported from Indiana up the Atlantic coast following a day of sweltering heat, including record-setting temperatures in Washington, D.C.
