The winds prompted a severe thunderstorm warning from the National Weather Service, but FOX 5 meteorologists stressed that it’s a wind event.
The alert covered much of the greater D.C. area, and was issued around 5:15 p.m.
One FOX 5 viewer sent in a photo of a tree down on Hall Place, Northwest – another viewer spotted a tree split from its trunk on North Glebe Road in Arlington.
