The "Other" La Plata, MD Tornado

La Plata, MD Supercell - April 28th, 2002


People forget this tornado! Only focus on 4/28/02... RT @wxhistorian 11/9/1926: Maryland's deadliest #tornado killed 14 at LaPlata. #weather

16 died (mostly children) according to these two sources. Very interesting/powerful reads if you like historical weather, especially in the Washington DC region...
