Yeah, I saw that on the TV news. Doesn't Arlington County already have a
PDA alert system in place already? Also, isn't tomorrow "Tornado
Awareness Day," or something like that, by proclamation of Gov. Mark
Warner? If I see one, I'll certainly be aware of it.

The Skyline Towers building is where the old Bailey’s Crossroads, or
Washington-Virginia, Airport used to be. For those of you new to the
area, I'm not making that up. It's in FX County, just west of Arlington
County, and just north of Alexandria. It's across Route 7 from the
Bailey's Crossroads Radio Shack. 

Hey, a link:

Better:

I can't identify that 477 foot tall tower, however.

You will not believe this:
