National Weather Service EmblemMaryland Listing of Tornadoes by County

The following is a working document. All tornado data contained is accurate to the best of our knowledge, but may be incomplete. We are attempting to pull tornado historical data together from various sources to build one single data base of all tornadoes ever recorded in the Baltimore-Washington Forecast Office's area of responsibility. The tornadoes are listed in chronological order by county and by state. The counties are listed in alphabetical order.

Click here to go directly to West Virginia, DC, Virginia listings.

The Fujita Damage Scale (F-Scale) is used to determine the tornado strength based on observed damage.  It is used throughout this document. The damage scale increases in intensity from a weak F0 (40 to 70 mph wind) to a F5 (over 260 mph wind). Click here to reference the Fujita Damage Scale for wind values and other associated information.  Many of the missing figures such as damages that are unknown at this time are continuing to be researched and data is filled in as it becomes available. If you come across any historical information that could add to this document and help us in this process, please forward it to barbara.watson@ noaa.gov.
