While we’ve been occupied with the long winter of 2013-14 and these many snowy days, it was just last summer that we saw a number of severe thunderstorms pass over Elkton. One July day in 2013, as the National Weather Service issued a tornado alert for Cecil County, threatening, dark clouds hovered over Rev. Duke’s Log House while a dangerous front passed over the top of the Chesapeake. This old house has seen the passage of centuries and many storms so it was just another day for this historic property.
