摘要：	At approximately 4:00 p.m. local time on March 6, 2004, a cluster of thunderstorms moved through the Baltimore metropolitan area producing wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph. A water taxi loaded with 25 people in Baltimore's Inner Harbor capsized in the thunderstorm winds and five passengers lost their lives. These were the first water taxi fatalities since the taxies began operating in the Inner Harbor in the late 1970s. Due to the tragic nature of the event, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) has assessed its performance during the event. This assessment evaluates the performance of the NWS prior to and during the event and provides recommendations to improve services in the future.
