Washington, D.C., residents received a tornado warning Thursday afternoon for the second time in two weeks as city residents hunkered down for the worst.
The threat of a tornado diminished rapidly over the course of several minutes, though a massive thunderstorm brought damaging winds throughout the city, the National Weather Service noted in a warning. The warning also noted that wind gusts up to 68 mph were reported near Washington Reagan National Airport. D.C. residents also faced a tornado watch in April, according to the U.S. National Weather Service.
