Since records began in 1851, 44 known hurricanes, tropical storms or tropical depressions have directly struck the U.S. state of Maryland. 3 of these were at hurricane intensity, the strongest of which being the Gale of 1878. Many of these storms also affect the country's capital, Washington, D.C., since the city is located on territory ceded by Maryland. Due to the state's unusual location, storms typically arrive from neighboring states such as Virginia. The Delmarva Peninsula side of the state is also commonly affected by hurricanes that travel up the East Coast. Central and Western Maryland also 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.

Hurricane Agnes from the 1972 season was the deadliest storm, killing 19 people as a result of heavy flooding. The costliest storm was Irene in 2011, which resulted in $151 million (2011 USD) in damages. Hazel of 1954 is the most recent storm to have caused sustained winds of hurricane-force (winds of 75 mph or greater) in the state, while the 1821 Norfolk and Long Island hurricane was likely the most recent major & the strongest since European colonization.

Since 1950, no storms made landfall in Maryland at hurricane intensity, although thirteen tropical cyclones still have collectively killed 64 people. The approximated return rate for a hurricane in the greater Baltimore area is once in every 75 years, and over 200 for a major hurricane (1-minute sustained winds of 111 mph or greater). The Chesapeake Bay is also one of the most valuable areas to storm surge, with storms such as the 1933 Chesapeake–Potomac hurricane & Hurricane Isabel producing surge heights of 3 to 4 meters (9.8 to 13.1 feet) despite being of lower-end hurricane status at the time.

Pre–1851

 * August 29, 1803 &#x2013; A hurricane was reported off the coast, where a schooner was sunk off the Chesapeake Bay.


 * September 3, 1821 &#x2013; An estimated Category 4 hurricane strikes the state. It makes landfall around modern day Assateague Island before striking Ocean City, likely at major hurricane status. Shortly after that, the storm left the state and produced a thirty-minute period of calm in Cape Henlopen, Delaware. Heavy rainfall was reported in Baltimore, while gales peaked from the north at around 1600 UTC in Polar Island. No known fatalities were reported to have happened in the state. </ref Main article: 1821 Norfolk and Long Island hurricane
