Tornado. A supercell thunderstorm spawned a brief EF1 tornado just north of Bowie, MD in Prince Georges County late on Tuesday afternoon July 5th, 2022, between 5:31 and 5:34 PM EDT. This supercell spawned along the Howard/Montgomery County line as a result of a remnant mesoscale convective vortex moving through the region which had moved through the Ohio Valley earlier in the day. It evolved into a cluster of cells initially before splitting off into an individual supercell that would develop rotation as it moved out of southeastern Montgomery County into northwestern Prince Georges County. The tornado caused extensive tree damage in the Somerset subdivision just north of Bowie, MD. There was also one instance where a tree had fallen on top of a residence near the intersection of Stafford Lane near Saber Lane. However, there were several other trees down in the area outside of the more concentrated tornadic damage, particularly along Buckingham Drive perpendicular to White Marsh Branch. At this location along Buckingham Drive, trees fell upon power lines, snapping several supporting utility poles. The tornado initially touched down around Tarragon Lane and tracked eastward over the Bowie High School Annex before tracking into the Somerset subdivision, where the majority of the damage was observed. The tornado would then lift just before reaching southern portions of Whitemarsh Park.

Ok. It's windy again and here that means possible power outages. So going to get my phone on the charger. Goodnight!
