The storm had earlier produced a waterspout on Breton Bay that was captured on video. The tornado uprooted about 10 trees along Medleys Neck Road and Cedar Hill Lane. It also snapped the tops of 10 trees. Tree damage was oriented in different directions. Two trees impacted homes, one fell on a vehicle, but no injuries were reported. The tornadic touchdown was brief, as the storm quickly produced a severe downdraft that ended the circulation, and continued to produce scattered tree damage along its path east through St. Mary`s County. The National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington would like to thank St. Mary`s County Department of Emergency Services, who provided invaluable support for this survey, as well as trained spotters and the public for providing photos and videos. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.........65 to 85 mph EF1.........86 to 110 mph EF2.........111 to 135 mph EF3.........136 to 165 mph EF4.........166 to 200 mph EF5.........>200 mph $$ Strong/Rodriguez/Belak
