“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to reach out to the kind people who helped me at the intersection of Wilson Boulevard and North Rhodes in Arlington this afternoon (Saturday around 2-3pm) when I tripped on the sidewalk and fell full tilt onto the pavement. Still not sure what went wrong and I’m okay (though a little banged up and sore). The young lady in the SUV who jumped out and offered to call 911 was great and much appreciated. Thankfully, my injuries did not require this. Also, the two gentleman who helped me up and made sure I was okay. They were truly great! It is encouraging in today’s world that people still step up and look out for one another. I am truly thankful. A blessing to them!”

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. (more…)
