| - The 2002 La Plata tornado was an extremely powerful and fast moving multi-vortex F4 tornado that devastated the town of La Plata, Maryland, killing 3 people, and injuring some 122 others. As part of the Tornado outbreak of April 27–28, 2002, it caused $115 million in damage and is one of the strongest tornadoes to hit the greater Baltimore-Washington D.C. area. At approximately 6:56 pm (EST), the tornado touched down south of Marbury in western Charles County, Maryland. Just 6 minutes later, the tornado began its crossing over La Plata killing one. At 7:30 pm, two more people died as the twister entered Calvert County. It then moved out onto the Chesapeake Bay just north of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. After crossing the bay, the tornado then continued across Dorchester County again intensifying to F3 before dissipating as it approached Salisbury, Maryland. The tornado had one of the faster accepted forward speeds, on record. (en)
