Damage in Laurel (Laurel PIO Audrey Barnes/Twitter)

Last night’s storm hit the Maryland town of Laurel pretty hard: trees and signs were downed, and roofs were pretty badly damaged. The National Weather Service will investigate whether the small city in northern Prince George’s County was hit by a tornado or a microburst.

Microbursts are downdrafts that occur in thunderstorms, and they can be pretty serious and cause damage comparable to a tornado, NOAA says. In extreme cases, microburst winds can reach speeds up to 150 mph.

Laurel’s emergency services director told NBC Washington that the pattern of damage leads them to believe a tornado or microburst could have been the culprit, but ultimately it’s the National Weather Service’s call to make. And they’ve been pretty busy trying to figure out whether Hurricane Joaquin will make its way from the Bahamas to the Mid-Atlantic later this week.

Laurel officials told CBS that the damage was centered on the town’s Main Street. No injuries were reported.

City spokeswoman Audrey Barnes tweeted out a photo of a drone that she said the NWS was using to figure out what exactly caused the damage:
