[MR] Herndon, VA / Dulles Airport - NSTR

Even though the weather channel is saying that Ivan damaged only places in  
the south,,,,
 
Here in Northern VA, the damage from the tornadoes that sprouted from the  
storm is
noticible.  No reports of any major injuries, but, here in Steirbach  and 
parts of Ponte Alto
(Stafford and Prince William counties), there is a fair amount of damage to  
property.
Several tornadoes did  touch down, skipping over one house, and  destroying 
the next.
 
Having worked in the 911 center throughout and after the storm, we received  
mostly "tree into house" calls, and the "I thought I could drive my little  
bitty car through the flooded road, now I'm trapped" calls.
 
The important thing is, no one was hurt, and hopefully just a few more  
people learned to pay attention to those annoying little tone alerts on the tv  and 
radio,,,,,,,,,
