“Dear PoPville,
I took these pictures of Friday evening’s storm from the roofdeck of my Dupont Circle apartment building (20th & N). They are pictures of what looked to my untrained eye at the time like a tornado.
The first pic (taken at 7:19) shows the funnel cloud in the far right on the horizon (you can see the Cathedral at the very edge of the photo, which is directly northwest from my building). The second pic (taken at 7:22) caught the funnel cloud after it emerged on the right side of the Cathedral.
No tornado was reported, so what did I get a picture of? Did anyone else see this? What was happening on the ground under this? I’d love to hear from anyone who can explain.“
