Strong Wind in Maryland, November 6 to 7, 2002
A strong northwest flow between a departing northeaster and a building high pressure system from the Gulf Coast States produced wind gusts to around 35 mph. The combination of the persistence of the wind and the recent heavy rains (which loosened the soil) knocked over a couple of trees in Talbot County.
