Tornado right off the Chesapeake

[mixman]

Being this was very early this morning (around 1:30am local time) there are no reports as of yet of a water spout. However, the damage to homes and marinas in the area is rather extensive. One marina we frequent had a 60' sailboat floating around banging into things after it's jib got unfurled and it pulled the pier apart. There was also a dinghy floating in the marina swimming pool. My friend's boat lost it's bimini (torn to shreds). So far only one reported injury (puncture wound) and that person has been discharged.

Update: Confirmed EF2:

Castle Harbor got hit the worst. Reports from Mears indicate they were spared.
