Friday May 24 2019

The storms that blew through yesterday lived up the the expectations. The bulk of the energy came through Howard County central Maryland around 3:30 PM. Howard County Public Schools made a great decision to keep kids and delay the buses. I think the lesson was learned from the Baltimore County event. The National Weather Service has already confirmed it was an EF-1 tornado. That has winds between 86 mph and 110 mph. Today, there will a survey to confirm the precise path and wind intensity. But many trees have been knocked down bear Broken Land Parkway.

Here is the Doppler Radar Velocity Scan loop, showing a distinct tornado vortex signature over Columbia around 3:32 PM

First Hand Damage Report

From Marcia Balmadier: Wires beginning on Pindell School Road bear Guilford, then crossing as far wide as Freetown near atholton HS and west of my street which is Shadow Lane. Lots of damage!!!
