SURVEY SUMMARY:
A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVED EAST INTO SOUTHERN MD MONDAY
EVENING JUNE 22, 2026. THIS LINE OF STORMS WAS THE CAUSE OF A
WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK ACROSS PORTIONS OF BOTH VA AND
MD. ONE OF THE STORMS DEVELOPED ROTATION AS IT MOVED OUT OF ST. MARY’S
COUNTY AND ACROSS THE PATUXENT RIVER INTO CALVERT COUNTY.
ONCE THAT STORM MOVED INTO CALVERT COUNTY, TERMINAL DOPPLER
WEATHER RADAR AT JOINT BASE ANDREWS (TADW) INDICATED AN
INTENSIFYING ROTATION AS IT NEARED BATTLE CREEK, MOVING QUICKLY
EAST AT 50 MPH. A DRONE VIDEO CAPTURED THE TORNADO DEVELOPING, AND
TORNADIC DAMAGE WAS FIRST REPORTED OFF HONEY COVE COURT ON THE
WEST SHORE OF BATTLE CREEK. SEVERAL LARGE BRANCHES WERE SNAPPED ON
SEVERAL TREES, ONE FELL ONTO A DOCK. AN EYEWITNESS ON SHAMROCK CT
ON THE EAST SHORE OF BATTLE CREEK SAW THE TORNADO CROSSING THE
CREEK BEFORE THEY TOOK SHELTER. MORE TREE DAMAGE WAS REPORTED
ALONG SHAMROCK COURT, AS WELL AS ALONG CRANE ROAD AND SHANNON WAY.
AN EYEWITNESS OFF CRANE ROAD PASSED ALONG A VIDEO RECORDING OF
ROTATING AND LOFTED LEAF DEBRIS. AFTER CROSSING SHANNON WAY, THE
TORNADO LIFTED, ALTHOUGH INTERMITTENT MINOR TREE DAMAGE CONTINUED
IN ST. LEONARD DUE TO DOWNBURST WINDS AFTER THE ROTATION WEAKENED.
