Don't mean to go against the grain, but I was up there for the Holidays, and at around 6 pm on New Year's Eve, I got caught outside in the middle of a tornado warning. The funny thing is, I didn't even know it until four days after I got back to Atlanta, while listening to a brother from the DMV mention it on a youtube video. I didn't believe him, because I was just up there. So I googled it, and learned that a fast moving funnel cloud that could have produced a tornado, had moved through Charles County, Oxon Hill, Camp Springs, and past Kettering...very close to where I was parked.
I remember hearing on New Year's Eve that we were under a severe weather watch, perhaps a tornado watch. But they don't usually materialize into anything during my short visits to the DMV, unlike they sometimes do in the South. Because of this, I was more busier monitoring what was going on with the severe storms in the South, coming from the West, and nearing Atlanta...which wound up not getting affected. So at around 6 pm, I decided to grab a bite at the Arby's near Woodmore Shopping Center. Btw, I do get tired of how a lot of these foreigners working in these businesses in PG (or maybe the DMV period), still joke with older Black people like we're children. I saw this happen to both my parents once at Dulles Airport back in the 90's, with me standing right with them, while picking up my sister and her husband. That still bothers me sometimes. The way that foreign guy working at Arby's joked with me that evening on New Year's Eve kinda reminded me of that. Older Black people in this area seem to put up with this. Myself, I started joking back with him like he was a child, which he really was, compared to me...even young enough to be my grandchild at that. But he probably still couldn't see that...even if he knew our age difference.
Not long after I finished that meal, with those dried up, dark brown fries, that tasted like they've only been warmed up after being cooked in dirty grease, I started to see the dark clouds outside, and some light drizzle, the same as I see in the South, when we're under a severe weather threat...however this did look a little worse. But I thought since all the attention had been on the South, and my area in Atlanta didn't get hit, I thought for sure we were safe from a tornado, although perhaps not a heavy rain. In fact, a tornado was the furthest thing from my mind. Plus I thought I had the tornado warning siren sound on my severe weather app, automatically set to sound off wherever I traveled...evidently it wasn't set. Anyway, by the time I got to my mothers driveway, I stayed in the car so I could watch one of my youtube videos. Then the wind suddenly picked up, and it started raining pretty hard. But it didn't last long. After the wind stopped, the rain totally stopped. But if it had got just a little worse, I would have came in the house...that's if I would have made it. When I finally came in, my mother told me there had been a tornado warning, but it was over. My mother is elderly, and I thought she was getting the "Tornado Watch" and the "Tornado Warning" confused again. Plus, when I was up there last summer during a "Severe Thunderstorm Warning", she called me on my cell phone to warn me. Since I was nearby, I drove to her driveway, and let the storm pass over me. But no way would I have stayed out in her driveway in my car that day, if she would have told me there was a "Tornado Warning". Anyway, the funnel cloud passed us so fast on New Year's Eve, that the "Tornado Warning" was over before my mother had the chance to call me. I'm glad she didn't call me this time, because that phone call would have really shook me up...something I wouldn't have wanted on New Year's Eve.
But with all that happened, I still didn't believe my mother when she said there had been a "Tornado Warning". I still thought she meant a "Tornado Watch". But like I said, it was gone so fast, that she didn't hear the warning until the threat was already over. And she probably didn't want to spoil New Year's Eve, by making me concentrate on the thought that I could have been swept up by a tornado for real. Again, I didn't find out the danger we were all in, especially me, until four days after I got back to Atlanta.
That was the first time I experienced a "Tornado Warning" on New Year's Eve in the DMV. I would have expected that in Atlanta this time of year first. Three or four Christmases ago, I remember being under a "Tornado Watch" just about all night here at my home in Atlanta. I stayed home that year because most of my immediate family members in the DMV had covid. But minus the "Tornado Warning", the Holidays went pretty good for the most part. Everybody came over my mothers on Christmas Day, and some came over a few days after. On Christmas Day, instead of all of us staying packed up in the living room and dining room, some went downstairs in the family room, and stayed a while longer, like we used to do, before things changed over the years.
Several days later, one of my brothers took me to the Washington Commanders game to watch us defeat Atlanta in overtime during that night game, sending the Commanders to the playoffs. That's right, I still prefer Washington over Atlanta, especially since I found out what Georgia is still about. Anyway, they had FedEx Field lit up like daytime in there. This was both me and my brothers first NFL night game, and my first Washington Commanders game period, including during the time they were the Washington Redskins, although I did see the Colts once or twice back in the 80's up in Baltimore. Man, the inside of a football stadium sure came a long way since then. Btw, I never been inside the White House or Capital either, so what else is new. At any rate, we didn't have executive suite tickets, the type of tickets my brother have gotten from his clients in the past, but they were still nice enough seats for me, being my first Commanders game, plus we had free food and beer. The food wasn't nothing to write home about, but it was free, and that beer was ice cold. We did have a light drizzle, but it was expected to rain heavily. But unfortunately, we did have to sit on slightly wet seats, since we didn't have anything to dry them with. But forntualely, our seats got dry fast, and I didn't get sick, thanks to the weather staying abnormally in the low 60's throughout the game...very unusual for late December in the DMV. The day before was cold, so it worked out. I haven't seen my brother this happy since we were children. It was nice to see, and made me think about getting a little more out of this life myself, even though I don't think I could ever become an Atlanta Falcon fan.
Then I wound up watching the Twilight Zone reruns through part of New Year's Eve evening, then picked up again after the New Year's celebration, on up to 5 or 6 am (first time I done that in years), and picked up again on one a few episodes after or before 12 noon New Year's day. That's been my New Year's Eve and New Year's day tradition off and on over the years. But a few years ago, I was starting to get a little spooked out and depressed watching those Twilight Zone episodes, because they were beginning to sound too much like what was happening in real life. But last year, and this year, I was able to enjoy them again. I also found out it's better watching them while outta town, especially at home in the DMV. Even though my mother may be in bed soon after the New Year's celebration, or my sister might be out celebrating with her boyfriend, I still get a good nostalgic feeling of watching these episodes at home around New Year's. I sorta get that feeling of a Friday or Saturday night, or a weeknight, when I was a child, and didn't have to go to school the next day, but now with much more freedom. This year my mother even watched a few episodes with me. I can't remember if it was right before the New Year's celebration, or right after. I think it was on New Year's Day right before noon, because not long afterwards, she was back to watching CNN...lol. But I was surprised she enjoyed the few she watched. Although she watched them back before I was born, she doesn't watch them kinda shows anymore, or too many movies at all, because of her religion. I forgot to mention, my sister watched a few episodes with me New Year's Eve, several hours after that tornado threat quickly past through. I would sometimes catch a few of these Twilight Zone episodes with her on New Year's Eve when I'm in town for the Holidays, but I haven't in awhile. It was nice watching those few episodes with her. I guess I haven't watched them in a few years by myself either, because most of them held my attention more than I was expecting this year, and I couldn't remember exactly what was gonna happen all the way through them, which kept them interesting. I think watching these episodes only once a year, gives me time to forget every scene, plus there's so many episodes. On top of that, I didn't focus too hard on them, nor watched any of them all the way through over the last several New Year's Eve celebration, if I did watch them.
I know this was supposed to be about the DMV weather, but I couldn't help but to include what else went on when I was up there during the Holidays, instead of only discussing getting caught in a tornado.
I'm gonna stop right here. If you think what I wrote so far was long, including the next story would make what I wrote so far seem like a paragraph.
