I believe that, if the police are targeting areas, they should ticket both drivers and pedestrians.Read More The only way to know what is going on in any one problem area is to cite all violations. Driving in Montgomery County poses many problems - pedestrians walking against the walk sign, sometimes with ear plugs in, and drivers driving past the stop line and ignoring pedestrian crossings. I think the police should concentrate on violations - regardless of who the violator is. To me, it is the only way that the police can isolate the problem and try to resolve it.

My dad lives in LW & he & his girlfriend saw it when it went by [it was not down on theRead More ground, I saw it in radar as it went through. Great pictures you all!] I never saw a tornado or got to see a funnel cloud. I think a funnel cloud is like a donut & a tornado is a ice cream cone like?

From my father I learned how not to be a husband and how not to raise a child.

Betty, your shots captioned, "bye bye storm" and "Storm exiting over the DairyRead More Farm" are true works of art! I'd frame them and put them on my wall! Beautiful and awe-inspiring.

@ Mary Ann: You are absolutely right about the clouds. I live in Moore, OK. Those clouds wereRead More directly over my apt. building when we had the EF5 May 31st tornado. I was in my closet for an hour. Never lost power, but amazingly, there were down power lines right around the corner. The May 20th EF5 that hit Moore directly is about 2-3 miles from my apt. So thankful to have survived both. BTW, my hometown is Upper Marlboro.

But send the kids to school!

Ridiculous...

Meh, better traffic for everyone else, given that many companies (contractor and non-govt related)Read More follow govt. schedules. People who telework are still, you know, expected to work. And other than summer school, are there any kids in school? It's not like we had snow days this winter to delay things.

Quick, everyone run out and by bread, eggs, milk and toilet paper!
