On This Day In Frostburg History.The below is courtesy of Steve Colby. It is lengthy but very detailed and interesting!
While researching vintage photographs of tornado damage in Frostburg, MD, Bob Lemmert came across the following information on the NOAA website:
November 23, 1891 at about 1000 hours EST, a F2 tornado struck Frostburg. The damage path statistics are unknown. Deaths and injuries are also unknown.

ON THIS DAY IN FROSTBURG/FFD HISTORYNovember 20, 1936 - The four-story Frostburg Opera House at the corner of Main and Depot Streets (Fat Boys Pizza today) is destroyed by an intense fire and burns to a shell. Said to have been a spectacular fire, fed by grain stored in the basement and huge virgin white pine girders, melts the copper roof providing a fireworks-like display lasting most of the night. Lemmert Bros. Garage and four homes are damaged by flying embers. Estimated losses are $70,000 and the cause of the fire, though never proven, was thought to be arson.
This fire was just four days after the Wittig and Laporta block on Main Street was partially destroyed by fire.
The following was entered into the FFD minutes on 24 NOV 1936.
