Ocean City Maryland tornado warning update: Berlin on alert after ‘radar confirmed’ twister; scary videos emerge
Ocean City in Maryland was under tornado warning on August 20, after videos of a twister causing damage in New York went viral.
On Thursday, August 20, Ocean City, Berlin, and West Ocean City in Maryland were under a tornado warning from the National Weather Service until 9:15 PM ET. The alert included radar-confirmed evidence of a tornado, similar to a recent incident in New York that caused damage. A local meteorologist warned of a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado, capable of causing flying debris and damage to homes, vehicles, and trees.
He urged residents to take cover immediately, either in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, avoiding windows. Social media users shared videos and photos of the storm, noting the intense sky and heavy rain. While one person claimed to have positioned themselves in the path of the tornado, this assertion has not been verified. Despite the warnings, Ocean City residents expressed hope for safety and well-being.
