...SUMMARY...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND HOWARD COUNTY OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT PERFORMED A STORM SURVEY ON TUESDAY JUNE 11TH IN WOODBINE
MARYLAND. THE RESULTS OF THIS SURVEY COMBINED WITH EYEWITNESS
ACCOUNTS CONFIRM THAT AN EF-0 TORNADO WITH WINDS OF 80 MPH OCCURRED
ALONG A ONE HALF MILE PATH.

TREE TOPS WERE SHEARED ALONG A PATH OF FOREST JUST WEST OF WOODBINE
ROAD. THE FUNNEL LOWERED TO THE GROUND A SHORT TIME LATER CAUSING
LARGE TREES TO BE UPROOTED OR SNAPPED. SOME OF THE TREES WERE
TWISTED. THE 100 YARD WIDE TORNADO CONTINUED TO TRACK NORTHEAST
ACROSS WOODBINE ROAD AND UPROOTED A TRAFFIC SIGN AND LOFTED THE
DEBRIS INTO A ROW OF TREES. ADDITIONAL MINOR DAMAGE WAS DONE TO A
WIRE FENCE. THE TORNADO CONTINUED NORTHEAST AND CAUSED SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE TO A TWO CAR GARAGE LOCATED AT THE 3200 BLOCK OF STARTING
GATE COURT. DEBRIS FROM THE GARAGE WAS LOFTED INTO THE AIR AND
DISPLACED THROUGHOUT THE RESIDENT PROPERTY AND INTO NEIGHBORING
PROPERTIES. EYEWITNESSES REPORTED SEEING THE TORNADO LIFT NEAR THE
INTERSECTION OF HAYLOFT COURT AND STARTING GATE COURT. POCKETS OF
TREE DAMAGE WERE FOUND FURTHER EAST ON STARTING GATE COURT AND ALONG
CABIN RUN. SPORADIC MINOR TREE DAMAGE WAS ALSO NOTED ON FLORENCE AND
DUVAL ROADS TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE MAIN IMPACT ZONE. ONE
RESIDENT PROVIDED VIDEO OF THE FUNNEL.
