Five people were hospitalized after getting trapped in a collapsed Gaithersburg home, in what may be one of the worst twister events to strike Maryland in years.
Tornadoes and storms hit several counties across Maryland on June 5, downing trees and trapping residents in their homes. Multiple tornadoes swept across Maryland on Wednesday in what may be one of the most significant twister events to strike the area in years.
A supercell that developed in Loudoun County may have first produced a tornado north of Leesburg about 6:45 p.m. It went on to produce multiple tornadoes that tore through areas near Darnestown, Poolesville, Gaithersburg, Olney, Columbia and Baltimore. The Olde Towne neighborhood in Gaithersburg sustained the heaviest damage. In addition to the house on Dogwood Drive that left five people hospitalized, authorities said, two other houses were damaged by fallen trees, but the residents escaped without injury.
