BALTIMORE — The National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington Weather Forecast Office confirmed that an EF-0 tornado struck Baltimore City and Dundalk on Monday.
Video obtained from Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center showed a "brief circulation," which officials say was most likely a waterspout, over the Patapsco River moving toward the Seagirt Marine Terminal at the Port of Baltimore.
The waterspout continued moving onshore, eventually becoming tornadic, before tracking east-northeast toward Broening Highway, where it uprooted one large hardwood tree and snapped another.
Officials say the tornado then crossed Colgate Creek and snapped a power pole along Ralls Avenue.
The tornado continued tracking east-northeast, displacing a vehicle in its path near Sollers Point Road in Dundalk.
Based on these findings and ground damage assessment, officials confirmed that the EF-0 tornado had maximum winds of 65 mph and carved a 2.0-mile path Monday afternoon through both Baltimore City and Baltimore County.
