Images after the tornado show dramatic damage, collapsed homes and shredded walls across an area of the Maryland island that’s home to just over 200 people.
Dramatic videos show an apparent waterspout destroying multiple homes and boats on Smith Island, Md., on Aug. 4. across an area that’s home to just over 200 people. Smith Island is made up of three island communities and lies on the border of Maryland and Virginia’s territorial waters about a dozen miles from the mainland.Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Thursday evening.
The tornado struck with little warning, preceded only by a Special Weather Statement that warned of 45 mph wind gusts. As Smith Island lies near the midpoint of three National Weather Service radar detectors, radar beams intersected the storm at about 8,000 feet above the ground; this was probably too high up to properly detect the type of atmospheric spin that could have warranted a tornado warning.
Such tornadic waterspouts sometimes accompany hurricanes and are occasionally experienced along the Gulf Coast, particularly western Florida. Noteworthy twister outbreaks in 1999, 2016 and 2020 all involved extensive damage caused by tornadic waterspouts.
