There was a Bittinger family living in the city of Laurel, Maryland in the late 1970's. Maybe they can check there. I don't remember the guys given name.

Hi Carol - Thanks for your input. But I think that info IS there. Because I was originally sent to one of those files by a search result from google. That was how I first found the records. I believe the year was 1927 (not sure). Because I deleted most of the address in the URL to get the home page. I am trying to locate the page I printed out, to see if it has a url addy on it. Most likely does not - thanks again for trying to see if the pages could be accessed. Someone out there must be a computer whiz that can help us out. ??? Ruth

Thanks for the link Jeff. ... I am not a weather person but I would suspect that the path has something to do with the valley down through PA from Bedford and (Big) Savage Mountain. The paths are roughly the same, definitely in the same corridor but some seem to move SSE and others move more to the east. My friend David was 12 when the tornado hit in 1969. He remembers laying on his belly on the floor of the downstairs rec room and being pulled across the floor toward the open door by the force of the wind. He and his brothers had been playing outside when the suddenly got wicked. They ran into the basement rec room and shut the door but the storm almost immediately popped the door back open. My parents house, two doors down to the north from my friend David's, was the only home on that end of Armstrong Ave not damaged by the 1998 tornado ... (my mother swears that it was because she went around opening all the windows like we were taught to do when we lived in Illinois) I did not realize until reading this link that there had actually been 3 tornadoes in the vicinity that evening. --wb jeff61 wrote: > With that said it seems that any tornado's that hit in Allegany County all > seem to follow the same path..

With that said it seems that any tornado's that hit in Allegany County all seem to follow the same path.. I wonder why that is... one that hit in the 70's and the one that hit in 98.....when down through Eckhart... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of jeff61 Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 21:03 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MDALLEGA] Late 19th century Frostburg Tornado Did they actually measure tornado's on any scale back then??? how long the F scale been around??

November 23, 1891 at about 1000 hours EST, a F2 tornado struck Frostburg. The damage path statistics are unknown. Deaths and injuries is also unknown. The tornado touched down in the Consol area near the present day armory. It followed Water Street (northward) before shifting east down main street near St. Michael's Catholic Church. It moved through the heart of Frostburg and down to Depot Hill. Buildings were destroyed, roofs lifted, chimneys downed and windows shattered.

A home was twisted around, some trees and power lines were knocked down. Two people were injured by contact with the power lines. The damage path statistics are unknown. Property damages were estimated at $2,000. Three people were killed and 25 injured in another tornado that night in Garrett County. c.. July 5, 1969 at 1415 hours EST, a F2 tornado struck Frostburg again. It swept down Big Savage Mountain through Frostburg and Borden.

One home on Armstrong Avenue in northern Froostburg lost a garage roof and windows were shattered. five homes in borden mines were destroyed. There were no fatalities, but one person was injured. Damage amounts were estimated at $200,000. (Lat./Long. = 39.40/78.54) d.. April 5, 1977 at 1515 hours EST, a F1 tornado (reclassified from Storm Data) struck 1 mile south of Flintstone. The damage path was 0.5 miles long and about 75 yards wide. There were no fatalities nor injuries. Eyewitness saw a black swirling cloud envelop a large machine shop and adjoining shed and lift it off its foundation. It destroyed 3 sides of the building. The storm moved north into Pennsylvania. Damages are estimated at $25,000. (Lat./Long. = ...) e.. June 2, 1998 at 1856 hours EST, a F1 tornado moved southeast from near Salisbury, PA to Savage Mountain. The tornado lifted as it ascended the mountain. The thunderstorm's funnel was scene passing over Frostburg and Cumberland. The damage path in Allegany County was 1 mile long and 50 yards wide. Damage was only to trees. (Lat./Long. = ?) f.. June 2, 1998 at 1921 EST, the tornadic thunderstorm that struck Salisbury and Savage Mountain area continued southeast. Its funnel was observed as it pasted over Cumberland and it was seen touching down on Iron Mountain southeast of the city. No property was damaged...only trees. The path was an estimated 0.5 miles long and 50 yards wide. (Lat./Long. = ?) g.. June 2, 1998 at 2043 hours EST, a voilent F4 tornado moved southeast from Pennsylvania to Big Savage Mountain. The tornado moved through Frostburg, Eckhart Mines, and over Dans Mountain ending just a couple miles north of Cresaptown. The damage path began well up in PA, but in Allegany County was 8 miles long and averaged 250 yards wide. The tornado was multi-vortex and reached its peak strength (F4) as it passed through the north portion of Frostburg. During the majority of its life it was F2-F3 strength and mowed a clear path up and down the mountain ridges through heavy woods. In Allegany County, 30 homes and businesses were destroyed and over 100 damaged. Some vehicles were tossed. Numerous projectiles of all sizes occurred. The house that was wiped off its foundation had pieces of it carried up to 30 miles away and a paper bill was carried 100 miles into Virginia. Amazingly no one was killed and only 5 people suffered minor injuries thanks to warning of the tornado and proper protective action by the people. Damages were estimated at $5 million.

I will take the film to one of our local libraries this week that has a reader and see if there are any new articles related to the tornado and print them out and share them.

Hi Ruth, I had the same problem when I wanted to look at the 1936 file. At first I thought I could not view the file without logging into the site with a password. I had a Id and Password for the Maryland Land Documents site and went in through that way but found that was not the problem! If you notice next to the files listed by years they have either a size of a file listed or the words "multiple files" I discovered only the ones with the actual size of a file listed opened and the others have not been scanned and uploaded. I'm not sure of the reason for that, could be maybe because of them being in multiple files it takes longer. I also though perhaps the 75 year "privacy" rule might apply but then they are public records so I'm not sure about that. But just thought I'd let you know I don't think there is anything in some of the year files to view...yet? So you are not alone on trying every trick you could come up with...I tried for two days! I do appreciate that the person who shared the URL did so as I didn't know they even existed, thank you. Carol

Would anyone on the list have knowledge of a tornado which struck Frostburg on the time line 1880 - 1910?  There would have been damage around Union Street, most likely.   We have a family story of my husband's grandfather having a Dry Goods store on Union Street.  Later he moved his business to Main St.  across from St. Michael's.  This store he ran until his death in 1917.  However, the family story states his first store was damaged by tornado which struck Frostburg.   I GOOGLED but only came up with data re: the 1998 tornado damage.  We have a picture of him in front of his store with some unnamed children (could have been a few of his 7 sons).  Have no idea which store this would.   Mary Ellen Chambers

You might check out the Best Western Braddock Inn in LaVale. We stayed there for $60 for one night and it included a free breakfast at Gehauf's restaurant next door. (Anything on the menu except Steak&Eggs). The room looked out on an interior hallway and had a shower - no tub. It was very quiet and exceptionally clean. Good value for the money.

The Super 8 in LaVale is really nice. And it is reasonable too! Close to Cumberland. Linda Harden-Lantz

Pat,       I concur with the other responses.  The Best Western Braddock Inn is where we always stay for research and family reunions.  The $60 per night shower only is a special package one can request.  They have suites which we use for reunions.  The living room couches convert to beds and a bedroom with a king size bed.  One suite has a built in jacuzzi.  Upon request they have handicap suites which are no more expensive then regular rooms.  No elevators so the handicap rooms are on the first floor.  Other amenities are indoor pool, jacuzzi, workout room, room service for meals, and of course the free breakfast.  Honor AARP, AAA, Government cards which help.  I think the most we ever paid for a room was $79 with AARP and for reunion, the suits with the discount were about $89 per night.  The restaurant is excellent as are the meals from them you can order for room service.  The bar also has a separate menu if there are smokers in the group.  Although, not always followed in MD there is NO SMOKING in restaurants.  However, the Denny's just down the road from the Braddock has a smoking section.!  It is located for easy access to all research areas, restaurants, churches, historical sites.      The phone numbers and other data is on the Best Western site.   Mary Ellen Chambers Lakewood, OH --- On Sat, 3/28/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [MDALLEGA] Accomodations in MD/WV To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, March 28, 2009, 11:28 AM Question Guys, I have a some friends that are talking of coming to the Cumberland / Ridgeley / Ft.
