Report of Funnel Cloud Over Downtown F.C.
CNN-TV News reported at 3:35 p.m. EDT yesterday that a tornado funnel cloud had been identified by the National Weather Service directly above the intersection of Annandale Road and S. Washington St. (Rt. 29) in downtown Falls Church. CNN used “Google Earth” to pin-point the spot for viewers. An eyewitness at the scene said there were high winds, but no “rumble” sound usually associated with tornados. Power was lost to a number of establishments in the surrounding blocks.
