Answer: Not likely

Step-by-step explanation:

Hurricanes can be devastating if they make landfall in an area and even if they do not, can cause excessive rainfall that can lead to flooding in other areas. One of such areas is Maryland.

Even though Maryland has seen its fair share of effects from hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions, there has not been a single storm making landfall at hurricane intensity in Maryland since the mid twentieth century. Hurricane Agnes for instance, caused the deaths of 19 people due to the floods it caused.
