Being just south of Olney I'm relived that it didn't do more damage than it did. Sorry for the people in Gaithersburg impacted by it.

It’s amazing what drones can do for us!

Hope everyone in MD is ok today. I watched it live last night for over an hour. I’m in ME and we get small tornados once in a blue moon. Can’t get over how dark and volatile the sky is in this vid!

I also live in ME! Brutal winters, but at least we don't have to worry about tornadoes and deadly insects lol

I was on that highway I-270 last night near that location. Really scary!

crazy did you see it?

@balmpatchvideos Ай бұрын

This looks to me like an unusual tornado, with little rotation, and it looks more like updraft chimneys than multiple suction vortices. Also it seems very wide for a EF 1 or 2 to me.

@Scootersomething Ай бұрын

It was a EF2-EF3 it tore down a lot but I’m glad it didn’t go down rout one

@lyleparadise2764 Ай бұрын

I believe it has been rated as an EF 1 for now along most of it's path. Those multiple vortices can actually cause more damage over a brief time period than a single funnel as they tend to create stronger winds.

Do you know how that event can be man made manipulation.

very strange. slowest ghost riders ive ever seen.

This is the same storm that passed through Columbia MD a little later. It passed over our house, but luckily did no damage in our neighborhood. Others were not as lucky, unfortunately.

Never in my 60 years have I seen so many mu.tiple vortex incidents in one year alone as this year.

Tornado outbreaks are very unusual in Maryland. However, a tornado outbreak is most definitely not unheard of in Maryland! I vividly remember the deadly tornadoes in La Plata and College Park about 20 years ago. La Plata was also hit by a very violent and deadly tornado back in the 1930's as well. So believe me, we've seen bad tornado outbreaks in Maryland before! Fortunately it takes a rare combination of atmospheric conditions for tornadoes to form. Every once in a rare while the atmospheric conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form over Maryland.

I was late from work but got a call to go out to dinner. Next day I see trees on the ground near MD University. Red/green lights flashing warnings. Heavy traffic on route 1. Felt bad for the two students who died next to the Denton area high rises.

The reason Maryland doesn’t get that much tornados is apparently because of the mountains also La plata was a EF4-EF5 and it was the worst tornado in Marylands history

@@Scootersomething La Plata got hit hard by a very deadly tornado back in the 1930's too. That was long before tornadoes were measured using the Fujita scale. However, many believe that tornado to have been an EF-5 tornado as well.

@Nylon_riot Ай бұрын

It's completely normal. The worst tornado in history was 1928. They even get an occasional tornado in England. Climate is only stable at the equator and the poles and is completely dynamic in between. The US sits smack in the middle of that zone in the northern hemisphere. And it doesn't stop happening just because you disvoscovered the weather app.

That explains how it was a manipulated related event. Hot. Hot air rises. Only part of the process. Sometimes we have to figure things out for ourselves.

Bit of a messy B but that's a legit tornado about three miles from my house. If I wasn't with my family being responsible in the basement I would have been chasing it.

@balmpatchvideos Ай бұрын

Have you ever chased before? This is a strange looking tornado. There is little rotation, very wide also for a 1 or 2 scale? What do you think? Beginning chaser here.

@emblaze2473 Ай бұрын

@balmpatchvideos Not really. I have a meteorology degree but I've spent pretty much my whole life along the east coast where we generally don't get the opportunity.

@Lucky9_9 Ай бұрын

@@emblaze2473It looked like there were multiple vortices on the ground for a good minute, and several funnel clouds spinning. What caused that?
