PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, Md. (WJZ)—The death toll still inches higher from the powerful tornadoes that wiped out parts of Alabama. Two days later, Southern states are still trying to assess the damage. At least 329 people were killed, and hundreds still aren’t accounted for. President Obama visited the tornado zone to bring comfort to the victims.

It is confirmed an EF-5 tornado hit Alabama. That’s the worst that state has seen since 1932 when more than 330 people died.

While we didn’t experience devastation anywhere near like they are down south, we’ve now confirmed a tornado did, in fact, touch down in Maryland.

Kai Jackson has the dramatic video one man caught as the twister drop out of the sky, right in front of him.

The violent weather that rolled through Maryland this week left its mark. A member of the Air Force captured video of the damage as it happened in Prince George’s County.

It was a frightening scene in this home video as a twister roars through Prince George’s County. Directly in its path was Andrews Air Force Base, and the person behind the camera capturing every frame of the destruction on video was Air Force airman Mike Musiowski, 21.

“Sirens came off on base at least 25-30 minutes before the tornado actually happened,” Musiowski said.

Musiowski calls himself a storm chaser, and the storm he chased on Wednesday packed a wallop. It knocked down trees and blew debris all around the area.

“I know it’s not the best idea, but how often do you get a twister in D.C.” Musiowski said. “I just wanted to be a part of it and get it captured.”

That same storm system damaged homes and property south of Washington, D.C. in Shenandoah County, Va.

Musiowksi says despite the danger, he wouldn’t hesitate to chase another one.

“This was my first tornado I’ve ever seen and I hope it’s not the last,” Musiowski said. “I had a good time.”

There were no reports of injuries after the tornado near Andrews Air Force Base.

    Sooooo? Where are the two Videos mentioned in this article??? Lousy reporting as usual!

  • Tripweaver

    It’s not just the reporting that’s shoddy. The editor was apparently asleep or drinking.

    Tornados in Maryland are not that uncommon. What is uncommon is the F2 that cut through Maryland almost exactly nine years ago.

  • Tripweaver

    Correction…the twister that hit LaPlata in 2002 was an extremely rare F4.

  • Sonar

    Could you tell us how to contact Kai Jackson who reportedly has the aforementioned dramatic video?

  • Liz Vukov Grogan

    Correction again- The storm that hit LaPlata was actually an F5, read the link to the story I have provided: http://www.baltimoresun.com/bal-te.md.tornado30apr30,0,551945,full.story

  • Donna M.

    I found the video at the link below. It’s about halfway down the page, and is entitled “Andrews AFB Twister 4/27/11″.

    Some people claim that this is the “Great Tribulation Period” that God has for a judgement on the world due to it’s sin against Him. The storms can be a punishment for the crimes committed against God and that people will cry out to Him in pain. The only way to forgiveness is to treat God right and tha is by living right.

    Yawn, yawn. That Hurricane / Tornado was stronger than my prom date B.Job.
