Is that where the covered bridge flooded out? I heard something on the news, but didn't quite pick up where it was.

No covered bridge in Baker Park. It is downtown Frederick, runs through the middle of the city.

Wasn't Baker park created to be flood runoff?  I thought that was its purpose, and it does that very well. 

No Baker park has always been here. But it used to flood regularly as Carroll Creek runs through it. The city many years ago after a big flood invested in a water diversion system. The creek has spill ways into underground tunnels that helps to carry flood waters away. The creek runs through and does not flood. Carrol Creek Linear Park is the other park it attaches to.

It was gusty and brought down some dead branches, and got me over the 1" mark. And here comes the next line. Rumbling.

Overall...isn't it kinda hard to get tornados in cities anyway? (buildings?)

St. Louis gets them on occasion, the most memorable in the past decade being the one in April 2011 that hit the airport and tore off a chunk of the main terminal's roof.  The Cardinals game had to be put on hold in order to shelter-in-place everyone in Busch Stadium.

I witnessed the Edmonton EF4 of 1987.

May have been Loys Station Covered Bridge east of Thurmont.
