It was a wild, wet weekend in the D.C. region. Apart from the record-setting rainfall we had on Saturday, two tornadoes reportedly touched down in Maryland, while two minor earthquakes were reported in Virginia in as many days.

Saturday’s perpetual rainfall—occasionally escalating into full-fledged thunderstorms—logged 2.75 inches of rain at National Airport, which set a new daily record for June 27, which was previously set in 1881 at 2.59 inches. The Capital Weather Gang reports that this pushes June’s rainfall tally up to 11.93 inches, making it the second highest June rainfall on record since 1871 (the wettest June on record occurred in 2006, with 14.02 inches of rain falling).

But this weekend’s storms didn’t just bring a deluge of rain. Two EF-1 tornadoes, which produced winds up to 90 miles per hour, were reported in Charles and St. Mary’s County. The National Weather Service says that both tornadoes were “briefly on the ground at the same time,” just as the first tornado was ending and the second was beginning.”

The damage caused by the tornadoes was minimal. NWS says that there was “substantial tree damage,” and that the damage to nearby homes “was mainly limited to siding and shingle damage,” except in a few instances where “trees fell into homes,” and “several barns and outbuildings were flattened.”

Though Virginia didn’t see any tornadoes, the U.S. Geological Survey says that two 2.2 magnitude earthquakes occurred this weekend. The first was reported at 1:08 a.m. on Saturday, with an epicenter located 5 miles south of Louisa, Va., NBC4 reports. (That, of course, is near the epicenter of the now-historic Great D.C.-Area Quake of August 2011. Never forget). The second quake occurred at 2:10 a.m. this morning, with an epicenter located 12 miles west-southwest of Courtland, Virginia.
