context_page_description: Since 1950, 132 known hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions have affected the U.S. state of Maryland. Many of these storms also affect the country's capital, Washington, D.C., since the city is located on territory ceded by Maryland. Hurricanes are the most intense classification of these storms, while tropical storms and tropical depressions are generally weaker. The Delmarva Peninsula is often affected by cyclones that brush the East Coast. Central and Western Maryland, as well as Washington, D.C., commonly receive rainfall from the remnants of storms that make landfall elsewhere and track northward. On rare occasions, the area experiences the effects of Pacific storms; one such example of this is Hurricane Tico, which made landfall on Mexico and moved inland.
  Hurricane Agnes of the 1972 season was the deadliest storm, killing 19 people as a result of heavy flooding. The most damaging storm was Hurricane Irene, which resulted in $151 million in damage. Hurricane Hazel caused sustained hurricane-force winds in the state, the only storm during the time period to do so. No storms made landfall in Maryland at hurricane intensity.
context_section_description: July 30, 1960 – Tropical Storm Brenda crosses southeastern Maryland. The storm's rainfall causes flooding in St. Mary's County.
  September 12, 1960 – Hurricane Donna passes just offshore, producing wind gusts of over 100 mph (160 km/h) in Ocean City. Flooding along the eastern shore causes two deaths.
  September 21, 1961 – Hurricane Esther moves northward, parallel to the coast. Wind gusts to 45 mph (70 km/h) are observed at Ocean City, and storm surge flooding causes damage to the city's sea wall and boardwalk.
  September 1, 1964 – In Westernport, 5.80 in (147 mm) of rain falls as Tropical Storm Cleo tracks just south of the state.
  October 4, 1964 – The remnants of Hurricane Hilda cause light to moderate precipitation.
  October 17, 1964 – The remnants of Hurricane Isbell drop light rainfall.
  September 13, 1965 – The remnants of Hurricane Betsy produce light rainfall across western part of the state.
  September 16, 1967 – Tropical Storm Doria makes landfall in Virginia; associated high seas damage the boardwalk at Ocean City.
  June 13, 1968 – Tropical Depression Abby produces 3.83 in (97 mm) of rainfall at Centreville.
  June 26, 1968 – The remnants of Tropical Storm Candy drop moderate rainfall.
  September 11, 1968 – Tropical Depression Fourteen produces 4.68 in (119 mm) of rain near Parkton.
  October 20, 1968 – As Hurricane Gladys parallels the east coast, tides of up to 4 ft (1.2 m) are felt along the coast. As a result, street flooding is reported in Ocean City.
  August 20, 1969 – The remnants of Hurricane Camille cause extensive flooding in Virginia, though they drop only moderate rainfall peaking at 6.55 in (166 mm) in Maryland.
  September 9, 1969 – Hurricane Gerda intensifies offshore, prompting a hurricane watch for eastern Maryland. Because the storm remained offshore, only light precipitation falls.
