[MR] Herndon, VA / Dulles Airport - NSTR

[Julia Windsor]

I never ceases to amaze me how many people ignor the warnings about driving on flooded roads. Every time we have any sort of a storm here, even the quick summer downpours, the weathercasters stress the "don't drive on flooded roads" advice. I don't get it, what part of "stay off flooded roads" don't people understand?

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,,,,,,,,,
