H2O Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Damn board won't let me load a pic more than 1.95mb so until I resize the one I took showing pea sized hail, you will have to trust me that pea sized hail fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I wonder if this is it or not. Looks like some cells in parts of VA popping up and tracking east. Doesn't look severe, but could add some more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I shouldn't have said "missed" in northeast DC -- I am on 1st Street just across North Cap from Gonzaga. I did hear a lot of wind but it didn't rain all that hard and was very short. Must have been a pretty strong gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part of concern went directly over my house, the spin up spot. Thank god it died down before reaching me. That would have been a direct hit. I think the further away you were from that, maybe the less of a thump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Was just down in an office of our building that faces Gonzaga -- two guys were watching and saw the sections of roof come off and fly away. A person around the corner on our floor saw the debris flying through the air. I am thinking EF-0 tornado. There are fire trucks there and they have blocked North Cap in both directions. Also: -- saw a bunch of those newspaper dispenser boxes that had been thrown down the street -- someone said a hotdog cart was blown out into the street and hit a car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
