"_Monsoons and tornadoes_; some places at the tropic become warmer when the sun is vertical than at the line; hence the air ascends, supplied on one side by the north-east winds, and on the other by the south-west; whence an ascending eddy or tornado, raising water from the sea, or sand from the desert, and incessant rains; air diminished to the northward produces south-west winds; tornadoes from heavier air above sinking through lighter air below, which rises through a perforation; hence trees are thrown down in a narrow line of twenty or forty yards broad, the sea rises like a cone, with great rain and lightning."
"The highest risk of tornadoes is east of the Bay, although warnings for doppler radar indicated tornadoes were issued for parts of Anne Arundel and Calvert county at 3: 57 a. m, and parts of St. Mary's and Calvert county at 6: 20 a.m. and have since expired."
"It should be noted, however, that even with modern radar technology detecting more minor tornadoes that could be detected in prior decades, the number of F2-to-F5 tornadoes in other words, all but the very weakest of tornadoes has similarly been declining since the mid-1970s."
