Tornado Touches
Down in Maryland

Monday, September 24, 2001

A tornado struck the University of Maryland campus in College Park Monday, overturning more than a dozen cars in a single spot, smashing trailers used for a fire training academy, breaking windows in the new Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center and forcing the evacuation of three high-rise dormitories.

Senior Mike Martin, 21, describes the twister and the rescue of three people trapped in one of the collapsed trailers.
