tornado was spotted in Columbia MD as well
So much for yahoo weather.
I saw that one in Columbia, I think. It was a low, dark, fast moving cloud, going nearly due east, nearly at right angles to the prevailing thunderstorm movement. It appeared to be just South of Route 175, in the middle of Columbia.
The leading angle of cloud was rotating around a line that appeared to be at a 45 degree angle towards the ground out in front. I couldn’t see the lower part of the cloud, it was below a treeline.
I’m just southeast of Columbia. That first storm didn’t give us so much as a drop of rain, but 3 miles north of here it was a doozy.
About an hour after that a second storm hit us here.
