Md. School Surveys Tornado Damage
----------------------------------
COLLEGE PARK, Md., Sep 25, 2001 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Students and
school officials sorted through wreckage Tuesday at the University of
Maryland, where tornadoes killed two sisters, both students. At least 50
people were injured there and elsewhere in the Washington suburbs. More
than 100 cars had shattered windows or had been smashed into other
vehicles.
The tornado's wind speed likely ranged between 158 and 206 mph, said
John Margraf of the National Weather Service in Sterling, Va. The
governor's office said it was Maryland's worst tornado in 75 years.
Roughly 22,000 business and residential customers lost power, said
Potomac Electric Power Co. and Baltimore Gas and Electric.
Two tornadoes touched down in the area about 10 minutes apart late
Monday afternoon, part of a storm system that stretched along the East
Coast, the National Weather Service said. At least one funnel cloud was
visible from Washington.
