Hello all,

I have been way to busy to post lately. If time allows, i will do
reports this weekend.

Tornados were confirmed to touchdown Tue evening, & reported to
touchdown this afternoon in the southeastern suburbs of Washington DC.

>From a SWS this afternoon at 5pm
A TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN AT 430 PM IN THE TOWN OF WALDORF IN CHARLES
COUNTY...FLIPPING CARS ON BERRY ROAD. POLICE AND FIRE OFFICIALS REPORTED
A FUNNEL CLOUD AT TREETOP LEVEL AT 432 PM IN THE TOWN OF BRANDYWINE IN
PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY...AND A POSSIBLE TORNADO TOUCHDOWN IN SOUTHERN
PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY NEAR THE SAME TIME. A FUNNEL CLOUD WAS ALSO
REPORTED AT TYSONS CORNER IN FAIRFAX COUNTY VIRGINIA AT 415 PM...AND
MARBLE SIZE HAIL REPORTED NEAR FREDERICKSBURG VIRGINIA AT 340 PM.

I think i still have the video from Tues storms, and i am taping the
news the local (Wash DC) affiliates today (6 &11pm).

One station already has shown siding ripped from 2 dozen homes, trees
uprooted, an central AC unit blown onto it's side in 1 neighborhood
alone.

I also taped the radial velocity images of both storms that tornado
warnings were issued for today. The 2nd image was much more impressive!

We have yet to have severe wx here (Winchester in nw VA) this week, but
5 days worth of rain brought localized totals over 3". That's after a
month without real rainfall.

Again i hope to do reports on these 2 severe wx events tonight or
sometime this weekend.
