Should I actually be considering leaving work early tomorrow, let's say around 3 PM, as opposed to around 6 PM? 

I usually would never even consider it for a rainstorm but I keep seeing so much about how nasty it supposedly will be in the evening

I work at 8pm in Crofton, I'm leaving a bit early and not taking my normal backroads that take me to 301. And we can do this all again friday night

Derecho in 2012 probably would have been one in hindsight looking back on it now (was a moderate risk)

Walking would be worse

So, an offhand ranking of the severity of impacts of "I" named tropical systems in our area:

1. Isabel -- I think that gets the first ranking pretty much hands down. Then it gets harder.

2. Irene?

3. Ida (2021 version)?

4. Ivan?

5. Isaias? Could easily be ranked above Ivan but 40 tornadoes from the latter in Virginia is pretty impressive. 

Sure there are ones I'm missing/forgotten. 

 

 

 

 

Isaias for Southern Maryland wavs very impactful from a rain standpoint. Also having center of a tropical storm ride route 4 from Leonardtown to Lusby was something we don't see that often

WTOP has an article on the 20-year anniversary of the La Plata Tornado.  What a monster that thing was

Still remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the story of my grandparents seeing the tornado looking north out of their house at the time.

And it happened around the time school would have been letting out? 
I’m reminded of a tornado in Chicago way back in the 60s that stuck a school when it was letting out and I think a couple dozen students died. I think it plowed right through the school bus lot. It was an F4. — this wasn’t anything near that strong I’m pretty sure (unless the same people who initially surveyed LaPlata in 2002 and gave it an F5 survey it) — but still, dodged one here. 

La Plata 2002 hit Archbishop Neale head on, but in 1926 a tornado on November 9th took out a school in La Plata and killed 14
