Staff Urged To Stay Indoors As Storms Threaten Capitol

U.S. Capitol police have urged all staff to remain indoors as violent storms swept across Washington, D.C. Wednesday afternoon.

In other words, if you are reading the Crypt on your blackberry on the National Mall, you should get indoors pronto.

Tornadoes were spotted north of the city in Wheaton, Maryland.

The storms came as the Senate was debating a global warming bill. Coincidence?
