Thecirculation developed just to the south of Essex, MD at 8:43 PMEDT before racing north and strengthening toward Martin StateAirport around 8:57pm. This is where a notable debris signaturestarted to show up on radar as the storm pushed north-northeast.This signature was confirmed with ground reports of multiplemobile homes damaged in the Williams Estates area as thestrongest winds pushed through. The damage path was fairly narrowand short lived. Most of the damage included the removal ofunderpinning from several single and double wide mobile homesin the Williams Estates community. This included several mobilehomes along Wagon Train Road and Roundup Road as well as CowhideCircle. Carports, sheds, and even a trampoline were tossed aroundthe neighborhood as well.Several trees were also snapped and turned in severaldifferent directions along Roundup Road and Cowhide Circle.

The resident who owns thishome had roughly 30 seconds of video showing the tornado as itpassed through. He recalled a loud boom which was most likely theshed being tossed from the foundation to the other side of theresidence. Pieces of the shed and other debris were impinged intothe side of the mobile home as well.
