D.C. Fire and EMS officials say that this afternoon’s gusty winds ripped the roofs off multiple buildings across the city.

Officials have shut down traffic on North Capitol Street between M and H Streets after winds tore part of the roof off St. Aloysius Church on the campus of Gonzaga College High School.

When this afternoon’s storm began, Gonzaga officials ordered everyone to shelter in place, according to the school’s spokesperson Steve Langevin. Officials eventually “gave the all clear” and students were released at their normal 2:45 p.m. dismissal time.

There were no reports of injuries, Langevin said, and the damages to the roof are still being assessed—there’s no word yet on how much repairs will cost.

Several photos of the damage at Gonzaga surfaced on Twitter.

D.C. Fire and EMS were also on a scene in Southeast where some apartment buildings’ roofs tore off. No injuries were reported.

The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunder storm watch until 5 p.m. Weather experts say Washingtonian’s will experience winds of 29 mph and see large hail.

Pepco reported this afternoon that scattered power outages in D.C. impacted about 10,000 customers. “An estimated time of restoration is unknown,” the utility company said.

People have also tweeted photos of downed trees in the area.
