2 Confirmed Tornadoes Touched Down in Anne Arundel County, 4 Total in Maryland
Storm survey teams said both twisters were tied to the same supercell and brought peak winds up to 100 mph.
- On Tuesday, severe thunderstorms swept through Maryland, and National Weather Service survey teams confirmed four tornadoes touched down across the state, including two in Anne Arundel County and two in Talbot County.
- The Talbot tornadoes struck with EF-0 and EF-1 intensity, damaging farm buildings and homes, while Anne Arundel twisters struck industrial areas and neighborhoods near Lake Shore and Pasadena.
- More than 36,000 BGE customers lost power at the storm's peak, though utility officials report that the majority of outages have been fixed as crews clear debris.
- Chief Meteorologist Veronica Johnson explains that distinguishing tornadoes from straight-line winds requires ground surveys, as radar data alone cannot confirm what occurred on the ground.
- Residents should monitor weather updates next week, as daily forecasts bring a continued chance for rainfall and thunderstorms, with the next potential for storm conditions in Maryland returning on Sunday.
