is moving across. right now, we're seeing pretty strong thunderstorms. out north of frederick and east of hagerstown. over toward easton. near vienna, near cambridge and federalsburg. pretty strong thunderstorms. lightning embedded in these systems. we are looking at salisbury, seeing that same rain. pocomostly cloudy city also seeing the rain. also down toward pax river, seeing the same showers. but what you're seeing here, there is a break around the city. a lot of activity going on. but we have watches and warnings in effect, just because of all the storms. take a look. the dark green in the middle of your screen. flash flood watch. the light green on the eastern shore. these are severe thunderstorm warnings. i'm sorry, not severe thunderstorm warnings. but flash flood warnings in effect. flash flooding is already happening in those areas. that is in effect until 8:15, for caroline and kent counties, down toward the lower eastern shore. this isault part of one-- is all part of one portion of the system moving through. >> thank you very much, tim. and good evening, everybody. remember last weekend, all the consternation we had on saturday? well, that scenario is playing out tomorrow night and into tomorrow morning. because of the stalled front. and the inland low that tim just spoke of. and because of tropical storm danny. and there's cold fronts sitting out to the west, which is going to make its presence known tomorrow. believe it or not, the least of our problems is danny. a very unorganized, disjointed system, right now, barely holding on to its tropical properties. let's take a look. 40-mile-an-hour winds. well, heck, as this tropical low gets into slightly cooler water, those winds go below 40 miles an hour. danny loses its name. don't kid yourself. we are still looking at a powerful low, passing a beam above ocean city. in the winter, we call this a nor'easter. the fact of the matter is, right now, as long as danny maintains this track, it's the devil we know, and it's not really going to be a huge and enormous problem. but as we mentioned, there are three sides to this story. this low, coming from georgia, kansas. we'll show you. we think of big energy, going to be north of the area. as a matter of fact, the later we move into tomorrow, the less of a chance you're going to see in showers. as a matter of fact, by late afternoon here. it may just be very, very cloudy with a passing shower or thundershower. not unlike your basic forecast. we'll continue to cover this three-headed system if you will, on air and online. wjz.com. kim will have more details about your forecast coming up. we continue our coverage of tropical storm danny. now in ocean city, where jessica kartalija is live with concerns at the beach. good evening, jessica. >> reporter: good evening, mary. good evening to everyone at home. you couldn't tell from what it looks like out here right now, but it was an absolutely gorgeous beach day here in ocean city. but that was until we got a few sprinkles, the beach completely cleared out. and as you see, all of these clows are starting to roll in, fast and fierce. and those waves are bigger than ever. >> reporter: concerns over tropical storm danny may be few in ocean city. but the focus now is on larger- than-average waves. >> storm-generated wave carries a lot of water with this. very heavy. and will knock even the strongest person down to the sand. >> reporter: danny may be hundreds of miles off the east coast. but the storm is causing waves to rise, 7 to 10 feet in ocean city. >> it's really rough. >> reporter: so when you go out there, what's it like? >> you get pulled under a lot. >> they're a little strong. they're a little bigger than they have been in the past few years i've been out here on vacation from kansas city. >> reporter: but the mayor is in constant contact with officials should danny change course. >> it is hurricane season. it is the sime of year -- time of year where we have to follow the storms. >> visitors -- in the meantime, the city is urging cities planning to come to the beach to stick with their plan. >> we have to look at beach erosion and take public safety as key. but ocean city will be open for business. and i expect it will be so this weekend. >> reporter: one group that certainly doesn't mind all of these big waves, the surfers. of course, the waves roll in. the surfers paddle out. they love it. lifeguards want me to remind you, if you are not comfortable being out in the water, be very careful stepping out there. even if you're just up to your ankles or knees. those waves are coming in very, very quickly. and they are very, very driven by this wind, which means there is a whole bunch of force that can easily throw you backwards. make sure you are out of line. mary, back to you on tv hill. >> lifeguards, thank you, jessica. residents have had their hands full from the severe weather that struck us inland overnight and today. as alex alex demetrick reports, some spots were hit with damage. and the threat of floods is growing. jurisdictions around maryland will be keeping a very close eye on streams. ground is already saturated. >> reporter: streams are running fast and high and could climb higher, if heavy rains hit again. and if those rains come with the kind of violent thunderstorms they did earlier this morning, the damage that hit lutherville could touch down anywhere. >> we were already asleep. and all of a sudden, we heard this crack. and we thought lightning had struck the house. >> at 1:00, i heard the pummeling. sounded like bombs going off. and shortly after that, it was just heavy, torrential rains for about 40 minutes. >> reporter: damage was scattered. as winds ripped loose took out fences and this swimming pool. but the closest call came when lightning split a huge tree in half, bringing down tons of wood, while residents slept just inside. >> this is our bedroom right here. you know, five more feet to the left. it would have fell right on top of us. so we're very lucky. >> reporter: but it may be a while before prayers are said at the sharp's -- shark's feet methodist church. it sheriffed major damage after a strike. as the storm swept east of the bay. >> it was scary. i mean, really scary. i tell you, i have been living in this area inquiry quite a -- area for quite a while. and i've never experienced any storm like that. it was scary. >> reporter: timing may have been a blessing, with most people safe inside. even if they were not able

>> tomorrow is, too. >> although the outer banks haven't taken a direct hit this season, the threat alone of storms like danny and bill, has kept tourists away. >> business has been impacted. the threat of storms will even reduce further what we're doing as far as retail dollars. >> we're just kind of waiting to see what the weather does. >> reporter: beach-goers enjoyed the last rays of sun. the calm before the storm brushes the coastline. it's expected to bring heavy rain, winds and waves. but that's not driving away the surfer. >> residents here are crossing their fingers. that's about all danny will leave in his path. kathryn brown for cbs news, north carolina. >> in addition to danny, there are some storms and showers in the region. let's check in with meteorologist tim williams and get an updated look at our radar. tim? >> reporter: well, the radar has been lighting up through the afternoon. we want to show you live doppler radar. there are flash flood warnings in effect for talbot and the eastern shore. but we have been watching this. and we'll take you over toward vienna, over near cambridge. thunderstorms there. lightning embedded in those storms. ocean city seeing lightning. we have prince frederick, down toward leonardstown. and hoopersville, seeing pretty decent showers now. but right around the city, right around downtown, and the beltway, for the most part, no real showers anywhere around, which is good for some activities happening down around rash field. of course, there are activities all around downtown. a lot of tourists still in town. but these storms will be rolling through. they will continue to roll through. and there say flash flood watch in effect for most of central maryland until late tonight. but these storms will come down here. >> remember, wjz 13 is always on. check in with eyewitness news for complete coverage of first warning weather. for instant updates, log onto wjz.com. the man who is under arrest for holding a california girl captive for 18 years is questioned by a sheriff's deputy in 2006. the officer inspected the makeshift encampment, where police say phillip garrido kept jaycee dugard. it was dismissed as a routine code violation. they were unaware that he was a registered sex offender. police say garrido kidnapped dugard in 1991 and sexually abused her. >> what are you doing?
