The tornado first produced damage shortly after 10pm Tuesday evening in Laurel, MD. It damaged the facade of a commercial building near the intersection of Fort Meade Rd and Maryland Route 197. It then moved northwest and into downtown Laurel causing multiple tree damage, along with damage to several roofs.

Damage in Laurel was limited to a several block area bounded by North Second Street, Fetty Alley, Avondale St and the Little Patuxent River. The tornado then crossed the Little Patuxent River into Howard County.
