A lightning strike sparked an attic fire at a Mechanicsville home during today's Fourth of July storms, which also caused power outages across Southern Maryland and derailed a Metro train that sent one person to the hospital. It's a hot day ahead with temps climbing to 93°F under overcast skies, so stay weather-aware and check SMECO's outage map if you lose power. On the bright side, 150 new citizens from 50 countries were sworn in at Mount Vernon today to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
