SURVEY SUMMARY:
DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON OF WEDNESDAY JUNE 18TH, A CLUSTER OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CROSSED CENTRAL MARYLAND BETWEEN WASHINGTON
AND BALTIMORE. ONE STORM BRIEFLY PRODUCED A TORNADO IN NORTHWESTERN
ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY MARYLAND, IN SOUTHERN ODENTON.
AT 2:15 PM EST, A TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN IN THE COMMUNITY OF CHAPEL
VILLAGE, JUST SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN END OF CHAPEL HILL BLVD.
THERE, ALONG THE NORTH EDGE OF A WATER RETENTION POND, IT
UPROOTED TWO TREES. IT CONTINUED SOUTHEAST AND CROSSED THE 800
BLOCK OF SUNNY CHAPEL ROAD. HERE IS WHERE THE DAMAGE WAS MOST
INTENSE. THREE HOMES HAD SIDING AND SHINGLE DAMAGE. BEHIND ONE OF
THE HOMES, NUMEROUS TREES WERE UPROOTED AND LARGE SECTIONS OF
TREES SNAPPED. AT LEAST TWO TREES FELL ONTO HOMES, AND ONE CRUSHED
AN OUTDOOR DECK. DAMAGE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PATH WAS BLOWN TO
THE SOUTH, AND DAMAGE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PATH WAS BLOWN TO
THE NORTH-NORTHEAST.
THE TORNADO PROCEEDED SOUTHEAST, AND CROSSED THE SOUTHERN
CUL-DE-SAC OF GOLDEN CHAPEL ROAD. THERE IT DAMAGED SHINGLES AND
SIDING ON THREE ADDITIONAL HOMES, BLEW OUT THE ATTIC WINDOW ON TWO
HOMES, AND UPROOTED THREE MORE TREES AND SNAPPED LARGE BRANCHES.
AT THIS POINT, AFTER JUST A MINUTE ON THE GROUND AND A TENTH OF A
MILE PATH, THE TORNADO LIFTED AT 2:16 PM EDT.
A FUNNEL CLOUD VIDEO WAS SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA FROM ODENTON.
THE GROUND SURVEY CONTINUED TO THE SOUTHEAST, BUT ONLY ISOLATED
TREE DAMAGE WAS SEEN SPORADICALLY, LIKELY DUE TO THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS AT TIMES FROM THE PARENT THUNDERSTORM.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EXTENDS ITS APPRECIATION TO THE ANNE
ARUNDEL COUNTY OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND OUR SKYWARN
WEATHER SPOTTERS WHO PASSED US DAMAGE INFORMATION TO SUPPLEMENT
OUR GROUND SURVEY.
