Storms near this place
4 since 2014Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Sapp in 4 storm reports between 2014 and 2023: 2 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado, 1 heavy rain.

| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 2014 | Tornado (EF0) | Sapp | $15,000 | A convergent track of tree damage occurred from Boyce Road to Steed Road in Glen St. Mary. Several trees were snapped and uprooted, and one shed was destroyed and damage was done to a carport. Power lines were damaged. The cost of damage was unknown, but it was estimated for Storm Data. |
| June 2023 | Thunderstorm Wind | Sapp | $1,000 | Trees and power lines were blown down along Country Estates Ct. |
| August 2020 | Heavy Rain | Sapp | - | A tree fell across State Road 121 just north of the county line. Cause appears to be rainfall related since root system gave way and storms were not reported in the area. |
