Storm Not a Tornado, Survey Finds
What appeared to witnesses Saturday to be a possible tornado in Prince George's County was not a twister, the National Weather Service said yesterday.
After a survey, the weather service has attributed the toppling of trees in the Silesia area and damage to trees and small airplanes at Potomac Airfield in Friendly to microbursts of up to 80 miles an hour.
Firefighters said Saturday that they might have spotted a tornado when debris was thrown up in a rotating fashion.

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY
Toddler Wanders, Drowns in Pool
A Pasadena toddler left the house while his parents were sleeping and drowned in a swimming pool Sunday, Anne Arundel County police said yesterday.
Police said 20-month-old Dayden Alexander Dunn was pronounced dead at Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie.
Lt. Jeffrey Silverman, spokesman for county police, said the parents woke up about 7:45 a.m. and noticed he was gone. They searched the house and then found the child floating in the pool, Silverman said.
"It was just a tragic accident," he said.
