June 24 – Maryland is ripe for severe storms this week. Just a few days after the confirmed tornado in Howard County, the action shifted east and south. I was out on a training hike all day, but came back to an active radar and then a Tornado Warning for Worcester County between 3:30PM and 4 PM. That meant bad news for beach travelers. But back up a few hours. I had a message from Keith Biggar Jr. showing two photos and a video of what is clearly a funnel cloud. Keith is the Sales Manager at Preston Nissan, so I guess it was OK that he focused up for a bit. I can only imagine his concern for his lot of cars should that start to drop hail, as these storms often do. The cars are OK, but now we know RPS can take care of them if need be 🙂
See the video (caution for some salty language) and the radar of the tornadic cell below

Here was the radar of the same cell a few hours later over Worcester County with a Tornado Warning
