I'm gonna have to remember to get an am/fm radio...so I can listen to WTOP.

Had smart phone with me, but both cell service and wifi on the mall were  
overloaded.  I work at 7th and Independance.

Did see two fighters, probably F-16's going from NE to SW, but they were  
really high up.  Saw 2 helo's from HMX1 inbound to the WH when I was leaving  
at 3:15.

Checking in from 3rd and Indiana, downtown DC, across Constitution Ave. from  
the U.S. Capitol.

I didn't have my scanner with me.  I did have a Walkman AM-FM radio with me;  
everyone else had smartphones. 

A DCFD ladder truck responded to a call at 5th and Indiana, across the  
street from the Moultrie Courthouse. The ladder went up to the top of the  
building that houses the Subway - the one with the $5 Footlongs, not the  
Metro. A Park Police helicopter made a couple passes over the east end of  
the Mall. 

Metrorail is said, by WTOP, to be running at a maximum speed of 15 mph 'til  
any track damage is assessed. I figure the commuter rail lines will see  
similar slowdowns or stoppages until the track inspectors can get over the  
line. I don't see any reports of damage at the VRFE Yahoo! site.

Nice day to be outside.
