Thunderstorms and two tornadoes barreled through the D.C. area Thursday, uprooting trees, ripping down power lines, tearing apart rooftops and raining debris onto streets and highways.

Two EF-0 tornadoes with winds between 60 and 70 mph touched down, one at a D.C. military base and another in nearby suburban Northern Virginia, the National Weather Service confirmed Thursday night.

The one in Herndon went just a few yards south of us, but was not on the ground. I thought it was just a micro burst, but the NWS says it was a tornado of sorts. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as an EF-0 tornado. Strong shifting winds for about 90 seconds that downed some dead branches, but no worse than the remnants of hurricanes that come through here.

Didn’t impress this Iowa boy.

I saw the effect of a tornado which went up the side of a mountain. Every tree trunk was snapped off like a matchstick about twenty feet up from it roots.

My wife was at work in Kilmarnock, VA when a line of t-storms hit. Heavy rain and gusts. Locals were soon reporting a tornado there and in nearby Irvington, with Very big old oak trees down on buildings and windows blown out, so it may well have been a baby twister. I thought March was to go out like a lamb!

Could be! Strong storm was considered a miracle for our win over the Brits in the War of 1812. Those were the days when people knew God and gave HIM the glory!
