To God we should pray.

If you disagree, hoping God does not deal with you too severely.

At the same time, will clear out some of the pollen for those challenged with that, giving temporary relief.

Normally I see religion used as a safe place, a sacred rock people can ground themselves to, but occasionally I meet people with extremely destructive religious views. People who believe the world will be raptured or that god is actively enacting his vengeance on people. To me this seems like a cry for help, why do you want violence? Why do you want to use god to validate violence? What do you gain from these beliefs? There are hundreds of interpretations of the Bible, each believing theirs is the one true way, so why do you believe the one true way is one where god is a destroyer? I’d say to seek help, therapy from a licensed professional, otherwise your cries will remain unheard

Believing prayers of quite of number of folks did help yesterday. Could have been a lot worse, as the National Weather Service was predicting for our No. VA area a few to several hours of thunderstorms for yesterday.

However, a tornado was reported in Reston https://wtop.com/fairfax-county/2019/04/tornado-causes-damage-near-reston-va/slide/1/ and Dominion reported some power outages, down from 2500 at 11:30pm to under 1000 now https://outagemap.dominionenergy.com/external/default.html?address=Fairfax+County%2C+VA .

That said, if you are into the One Book and believing, read Genesis 6 and Genesis 19. God as a loving father, like good fathers some people have, are patient and loving, even with some wrongdoings of their kids, but at a point, there is punishment. Genesis 19, a whole city is destroyed for long time sexual wrongdoing.

Fast forward to today, look at the calamities that have especially hit California, Though some good people there, that state lot way off the compass with liberal and not moral living. Personally, I was less than 3000 feet from the Pentagon when the plane hit 9/11/2001, and saw the smoke rising afterwards. Flight 93 crashing in PA, for those people, some very good, others maybe not so much so, their time had come. The two flights into the twin towers in NYC, lot of wrongdoing there, greed, etc. Other more recent events such as hurricanes in multiple Southeast states more devastating than decades ago, causing issues for people. At the same time, this USA county has for decades strayed from its moral compass, kicking praying out of the public schools in 1962, homosexuality is alright (similar to alcoholism, also a mental illness), etc.

Confirmed tornado in Reston, Va. damages homes, cars

A tornado touched down in Fairfax County, Virginia, on Friday evening, officials confirmed, bringing down trees and power lines in the Reston area — where severe damage led to a home being condemned.

On Saturday, the National Weather Service confirmed that the tornado produced a “discontinuous line of damage” along a 4-mile path for about five minutes shortly before 9 p.m. Friday.

The tornado was rated as an EF0 tornado, which is relatively weak on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which rates tornadoes on their peak intensity. With peak winds of 70 mph and a maximum wind paths of 100 yards, the tornado traveled from north to northeast.

Even though considered weak on the scale, the tornado still left damage in its path.

Images posted on social media showed large trees fallen on roads in Reston overnight, crushing cars and grazing townhouses.

The first bit of tornado damage was evidenced near Fox Mill Road and Pinecrest Road. Several trees were downed in that area around 8:55 p.m. Friday. Trees were also toppled over along Glade Drive near Rosedown Drive.

After the tornado passed the Dulles toll road and there was minor tree damage between Sunset Hills Road and Baron Cameron Avenue.

Tornado damage was also noted just north of the Reston Hospital Center. A tree was topped over, fencing was blown down and shingles were blown off several townhouses.

The tornado marked its path just east of the Trader Joe’s and destroyed a shed there.  A 2-foot diameter tree crashed through the upper floor of a townhouse on Quietree Drive; the property was condemned.

On Center Harbor Road, a pickup truck was destroyed by a large, 100-foot tall tree while its owner sought shelter indoors, NBC Washington reported. A tree tumbled into a townhouse north of Reston center, dealing enough damage for the building to later be condemned. There were no injuries reported.

Around 9 pm last night, crews dispatched to Center Harbor Rd between Reston Pkwy and North Village Rd for large tree that fell on a parked pick truck. Fortunately no one was in vehicle. Tree completely blocked street so crews used chainsaws to cut up tree to open road up. #FCFRD pic.twitter.com/YW2haaHeqn

Michael Moore made a trip out to his son’s home in the Whisper Hill neighborhood Saturday to check on the damage to the property. His son and grandchild were away from their property when the tornado ripped through the neighborhood.

“I’m not sure about up on the roof, but there’s all this light debris around …” Moore said. “Storms are storms, when they come you’ve gotta take them.”

The most significant damage occurred in the vicinity of Lake Newport near North Point Village Center, WTOP’s Dave Dildine observed, mostly in the form of widespread tree damage. A resident of Reston’s Whisper Hill neighborhood described hearing a loud roar while their home shook, amid torrential rain and the sound of pebbles pounding against the building’s walls.

Dominion Energy reported about 200 customers were still without power as of 6:00 p.m. Saturday, down from 2,500 just before midnight.

Forecasters had issued a tornado warning for the area just before 9 p.m. on Friday, when Doppler radar from nearby Sterling indicated rotation within a storm moving northward between the Reston and Fairfax County parkways.

Hofmann said survey teams found trees fallen in a pattern suggestive of winds in a “swirling motion,” evidence which helped them prove that a tornado was responsible.

“We’ve determined that the damage pattern was convergent, meaning the trees and debris that were blown around were blown towards each other in a swirling motion,” Hofmann said. “That corroborates and agrees with what we saw on radar here, which suggested rotating winds which would be a tornado.”

Elsewhere in Virginia, the weather service also confirmed tornado touchdowns in Fredericks Hall, Barham and Forksville. Several trees were reported down in Barham, while a house and various small structures were damaged in Forksville.

Factoring in Friday’s outbreak, NWS offices in Raleigh and Blacksburg have issued more tornado warnings in 2019 across central Virginia and North Carolina than all of Oklahoma and Kansas.

Officials also confirmed that 14 tornadoes touched down in Mississippi as severe storms made their way across the South on Friday, killing an 8-year-old girl in Florida. The strongest tornado had winds as high as 132 mph, when it hit a neighborhood in the central Mississippi town of Morton, damaging numerous homes.
