These quick and violent thunderstorms are a common occurance in Washington DC, on hot and humid days. You just have to take cover and wait for 15 to 20 minutes. Then clean up the mess, usually broken tree limbs, up-rooted trees and mop up the water in your basement. The police and fire radio frequencies go wild after these storms, which are legal to listen to in most states and cities in the USA.
