Severe storms trigger flooding in Maryland, tornadoes in Ohio (The Washington Post)

A deluge postponed the Halsey concert in Columbia, Md., while a tornado partially tore down a distribution center in Tipp City, Ohio.

A narrow ribbon of shear — or turning winds with altitude — sneaked into the Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday night promoting some spin in the storms that formed. Parts of the Plains also face an elevated threat of excessive rainfall and flooding. We have a reporter on the scene & will provide updates #ohwx #cincywx pic.twitter.com/G0lAUZ8H3f June 9, 2022 Howard County Police closed streets in the area as a precaution. Amid the torrential rain, a tornado warning was also issued for Columbia and areas to the northeast at 8:39 p.m. before being discontinued 12 minutes later after storm rotation eased. An approaching high-altitude disturbance embedded within the jet stream also energized the storms. No injuries were reported from the incident. In Columbia and Elkridge, the Howard County Police Department closed multiple roads because of high water. A lot of things were out of my control tonight but I promise everything I COULD choose, I chose your safety. Multiple flash flood warnings were issued, with areas of high water reported in Laurel, Columbia and Ellicott City, where two devastating floods have struck in recent years. But I couldn’t because it would have been SO unsafe if I went out there and people rushed the stage during or after the storm. I promise I wanted to more than anything.
