Mayakda: Ah, but you forget I've been to the Philippines for extended periods of time as well. My first trip was when I was 8, and a typhoon hit the province where we were staying. Way to make a first impression.

The Washington DC Metro had a fun time last night full of tornado watches, tornado warnings & flash floods. The immediate area did have funnel clouds form and a couple touch down, but the worst was more south in Remington, VA. That was where the first cell hit; everyone further north had more warning to prepare and duck for cover. Flights at Dulles, National & BWI weren't taking off & I'm assuming they weren't landing either. I knew a few airplanes had to be evacuated because a funnel cloud touched down near Dulles. The footage they were showing on the news was insane.

There was also a fire at one of the smaller airports when lightning struck one of the airplane hangers.
