first tornado of the year

[jmeirhofer]

I was going to go down to the boat tonight but decided to go over in the morning. Heavy winds and rain (flooded the back yard), branches flying around. Went upstairs turned on the tele just in time for them to say there was a tornado warning in s. Baltimore and Baltimore harbor. I don't think me or the dogs would have liked that much on the boat.

I hope no one has damage over there.

Yeah, they local stations broke into the evening national news programs to follow the storm and report its location every 5 seconds for the next half hour. I didn't see any reports of a tornado reaching the ground so maybe its just a lot of tree damage. We can hope, anyway.

The neighborhood here just has some smaller branches down and tons of leaves off the trees. I had a couple windows open so I had to run around the house closing them. I could not believe how hard it rained and how fast it accumulated though. And it was definitely swirling. When I turned on the news they said the sirens where going off on Federal Hill. The trajectory that they showed though put it right through the harbor up to Bel Air. I already had one of my new strataglass panels damaged during the derecho. I hope there are no others damaged from this. And I hope everyone on the inner harbor is unscathed as well.
