I think Bush is less to blame than I am. I have driven SUV's for almost 35 years. I have been driving them since before they were called SUV's. I am feeling very guilty now. I sincerely hope no one is hurt in DC.

Good advice. People in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast are not very familiar with tornadoes.

This looks like what would be a normal spring day in Oklahoma.

I pray for the folks there.

Tornado's are nothing to sneer at. We had a rash of deadly one's in Ky and In in the spring..

I work for an airline that is a UAL contractor. Most our jets are based at IAD. I just got off of the phone with my dispatch and they had said a number of our planes were damaged by the storm. They didnt say how, or weather there was any rotation on the field. My daughter lives in Baltimore county and my brother and sister live in Anne Arundel county..
