It is forecasted that one or more SEVERE tornado's will appear in SE to E VA 
and travel possibly on over to MD and will have winds on the order of 158 mph
to 300 MPH.  The time period for this forecast is:

Immediately until 5 days from now (25 Aug - 30 Aug. 03)

This forecast is based on an experimental hypothesis supported by some data. 
The information at hand is that this/these tornado's will reach F4 and will
more than likely be multiple F5's.   As shown in the scale below these F5's
cause incredible damage.   Boaters should restrict useage on the Chesapeake Bay
during this periond of time if the weather starts to turn in favor of this
forecast.

If this /these tornado's do appear then significant damage can be expected
along with a large list of casualties (and possibly fatalities).

(Ref:  F3- F5 tornado scale):
The Fujita Tornado Scale 
Maximum Wind Speeds  Equivalent 
Saffir-Simpson 
Scale*  Typical Effects  

F3 Category Tornado  
158-206 mph

thrown and disintegrated; large missiles generated; trees in forest uprooted
and carried some distance away.  

F5 Category Tornado

(227-276 kt)  NA  Incredible Tornado. Incredible damage: Strong frame houses
lifted off foundations and carried considerable distance to disintegrate;
automobile-sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 300 ft (100 m);
trees debarked; incredible phenomena will occur.  




--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
F0 Category Tornado  
40-72 mph 
(35-62 kt)  NA  Gale Tornado. Light Damage: Some damage to chimneys; breaks
