Severe weather tore through the metro area Tuesday evening, toppling trees, knocking out power, and generating intense lightning blamed for several house fires.

The first home was hit in the 7100 block of Beverly Street in Annandale. Fire officials said damage appeared to be limited to the siding on the home and a shed. An ABC 7/NewsChannel 8 crew captured images of firefighters spraying down the two structures. No injures were reported.

In the second incident, shortly before 9 p.m., another Annandale home was hit. It happened in the 4900 block of Wakefield Chapel Road. No injuries were reported, but the house did suffer damage, according to reports.

In the District, the damage continued at the intersection of 22nd Street and Constitution Avenue NW. A tree fell and landed on an SUV, occupied by a woman. She was treated at the scene of the incident. Park Police shut down the intersection until the tree and car were removed.
