Since 1980, 56 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. Four tropical cyclones in the state have caused five known deaths. Hurricane Sandy was the deadliest storm, killing 11 people. The most damaging storm was Hurricane Irene, which resulted in $151 million in damage. The only storms to have caused hurricane force winds were Hurricane Irene of 2011, which caused hurricane force gusts along the beaches, and Hurricane Sandy of 2012, which caused hurricane force gusts as far inland as Gaithersburg, Maryland. There have been examples of a couple other storms which gusted to hurricane force, such as Hurricane Isabel of 2003. ==1980–1989== * June 7, 1981 – A tropical depression moves off the Mid-Atlantic coast, brushing the southern tip of Maryland with light rainfall. * July 1, 1981 – Tropical Storm Bret makes landfall on Maryland, although there is no reported damage.〔 * August 19, 1981 – Tropical Storm Dennis brushes the extreme southern section of the Delmarva Peninsula, with light rainfall. * September 30, 1983 – Tropical Storm Dean makes landfall on Virginia and produces up to of rainfall in the state.〔 * October 25, 1983 – The remnants of Hurricane Tico, a Pacific storm, drop light rainfall across Maryland and surrounding locations. * July 25, 1985 – The remnants of Hurricane Bob cause moderate rainfall in southern Maryland, and light wind gusts.〔 Rough seas from the system capsize a few boats along the Potomac River, and the rainfall collapses a house under construction in Great Falls, Maryland. * August 18, 1985 – Remnant moisture from Hurricane Danny drops up to of rain on the Delmarva Peninsula, although damage, if any is unknown. * September 24, 1985 – Tropical Storm Henri parallels the coastline, dropping light rainfall.〔 * September 27, 1985 – Hurricane Gloria passes east of Maryland and drops over of rain.
