It’s been 23 years to the day since the April 28, 2002 La Plata, Maryland tornado. It was an F4 (originally rated an F5), with winds over 200 mph. It killed 3 people, spent 90 minutes on the ground, and flung grapefruit-sized hail around. An old lookback from my TV days… (and yes, I know I was talking fast… I had 4 minutes and a lot to say!) | Matthew Cappucci
