Rescue/Recovery in the Potomac, Lightning at the White House, and Storms over D.C. Busy Friday

Friday got off to an early start with a rescue / recovery operation in Georgetown where a young man went into the Potomac and didn’t make it out. Police, Fire and Coast Guard were on the scene to help recover the victim. I then went over the White House where we saw the tree from yesterday’s fatal lightning strike. As of this morning an elderly couple from Wisconsin were the only two victims, but this evening it was announced a third victim perished in the lighting strike. Later the clouds returned to Washington so I headed over to the Lincoln Memorial to see what I could see. Busy and sad Friday.
