I don't want to say this is a warning from God in heaven above, but a tornado just a few miles outside of the nation's capital?

That's a bit different:

A powerful storm spawned a tornado that ripped its way across Montgomery County, Maryland, Wednesday evening, leaving a line of damage for at least 45 miles.

The long-track twister left its greatest destruction so far in a residential neighborhood in Gaithersburg where it felled large trees onto houses. Residents were trapped inside. In one home along Dogwood Drive, five people were injured including one with traumatic injuries, according to Pete Piringer of Montgomery County Fire and Rescue.

It has to be stressed just how close this twister came to downtown DC:

And it was one doozy of a nade, too (at least for Maryland):

Crazy stuff. Glad it was just injuries and nothing worse.
