EF-0 Tornado Confirmed in Baltimore City and Dundalk
The National Weather Service has confirmed that an EF-0 tornado touched down in Baltimore City and Dundalk on Monday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington Weather Forecast Office, video from Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center captured a brief circulation over the Patapsco River. Officials believe the circulation initially formed as a waterspout before moving toward the Seagirt Marine Terminal at the Port of Baltimore.
The waterspout moved onshore and developed into a tornado as it traveled east-northeast. Along Broening Highway, the storm uprooted a large hardwood tree and snapped another.
The tornado then crossed Colgate Creek, where it snapped a power pole along Ralls Avenue before continuing toward Dundalk.
Near Sollers Point Road, officials said the tornado was strong enough to displace a vehicle in its path.
After reviewing video, conducting a ground damage survey and examining the storm’s path, the National Weather Service determined the tornado was an EF-0 with estimated maximum winds of 65 mph.
The tornado traveled approximately two miles through portions of Baltimore City and Baltimore County before dissipating.
