Rating: EF-0 Estimated Peak Wind: 65 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.1 miles Path Width /maximum/: 25 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 07/31/2025 Start Time: 2:46 PM EDT Start Location: Eastport MD / Anne Arundel County / MD Start Lat/Lon: 38.975 / -76.481 End Date: 07/31/2025 End Time: 2:46 PM EDT End Location: Eastport MD / Anne Arundel County / MD End Lat/Lon: 38.976 / -76.479 Survey Summary: An individual at the Severn Sailing Association marina provided a video of a waterspout between Eastport and the U.S. Naval Academy, over Spa Creek. The waterspout moved into the shoreline at the marina. That eyewitness saw the waterspout move ashore and over the marina. They documented a few trailered and stored small boats that were blown over by the wind in the parking area. The circulation moved quickly back over water over the mouth of the Severn River where additional social media video showed it as viewed from near the Route 450 bridge. Terminal Doppler Weather Radar TBWI operating nearby in northern Anne Arundel County showed the circulation intensify briefly along this track, moving west to east. It dissipated before reaching land on the other side of the Severn River, and no other damage has been reported. The National Weather Service would like to thank the Severn Sailing Association, and the City of Annapolis Office of Emergency Management for contributing to this survey. && 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 $$
