Tornado. A supercell thunderstorm tracked east across central Maryland and|produced an EF-1 tornado that touched down late Thursday|afternoon in Edgewater Maryland and continued to the western shore|of the Chesapeake Bay.||Tornadic damage began after the storm crossed Beard`s Creek off|the South River. Trees were first downed near the intersection of|Edgewater Drive and Park Avenue, just north of Lee Airport. The|tornado intensified as it moved east into central Edgewater, and|reached its peak EF-1 strength in the area of the community|bounded by Solomons Island Road (Route 2), Virginia Avenue, and|Ridge Avenue. In this area damage was blown in all directions.|Siding was torn from the wall of one home, and some roof flashing|was damaged on another. A commercial fence was blown down to the|north. However, most of the damage was to trees. Most of the trees|in this area had at least some large branches ripped from their|upper sections. About 10 trees in this wooded community were|entirely uprooted or snapped. Some of those trees fell into power|lines, and at least 2 power poles were snapped because of this. A|few homes and vehicles were damaged from falling trees and|branches.||As the tornado crossed Solomons Island Road, it weakened to an|EF-0 but continued to cause scattered tree damage with uprooted|or snapped trees that were thrown generally left of the tornado|track. Damage was noted on both sides of Warehouse Creek along|Leeland Road and South River Landing Road.||The tornado continued across South River and into Hillsmere|Shores. A large tree was uprooted on the The Key School soccer|field with numerous large branches strung across the 100-yard|field to the left of the track. One large branch caused damage|to the protective netting and metal framing attached to a|scoreboard situated on the west side of the soccer field. The|damage path continued east across Hillsmere Drive where a half|dozen 30-40 foot tall pine trees where uprooted and criss-crossed|in a northeast and southeast fashion.||Further northeast along Sunset Drive, scattered tree damage was|observed with several large trees snapped. One large tree was|uprooted and puncturing a roof resulting in water intrusion|inside the home. Additional scattered tree limb damage was|observed immediately to the east northeast with limbs noted thrown|to the left of the track.||As the tornado tracked east, scattered tree limb damage was|observed along Thomas Point Road and through the Arundel on the|Bay community. A few large trees were observed to be snapped and|uprooted along Cohasset Ave near Walnut Ave. Tree damage became|minor near the shoreline of the Bay between Linden Ave and Walnut|Ave.||While wind damage from this storm was examined between Crofton,|Davidsonville, and Riva, that tree damage was unidirectional,|largely oriented from west east, and falling generally in the|direction of the storm`s motion.
