The wind on Ellen Avenue toppled trees and caused a gas leak and power outage, residents said.
Pam McCordell of Parkville can't quite understand what is taking the National Weather Service so long to determine if a tornado hit the Parkville area last night. The Ellen Avenue resident has no doubts about what shook the homes on her street, toppled trees and broke a gas line that forced an evacuation of her and her neighbors.

Her neighbor John Fouts also believes it was a tornado that came roaring up their street, just off Old Harford Road and several miles north of the Dutch Village apartments on the city line where most of the damage from …

"My husband got up and looked outside and I yelled at him to get away from the window." Eric, 50, watched as the window shattered from gusts of powerful wind. He grabbed his wife and they raced to the bathroom to huddle in the tub. "It was raining really hard. … The next thing you know I knew I heard a …
