Incredible Reston Storm Videos, Photos Will Blow Your Mind
The violent storm that hit Reston directly Monday resulted in some eye-popping images and video on social media.

RESTON, VA -- It was quite a scary scene in Reston on Monday. The area was placed under tornado warning as a severe storm rolled through during the evening hours, and hail up to 2 inches fell in the area.
Fortunately, other than a report of a funnel cloud in Ashburn, no tornado materialized. But it certainly resulted in some astonishing videos and photos of the type of storm system you'd typically see out in Tornado Alley.
Check out the best of the amazing imagery below.

I'm afraid this homeowner on Pinoak Lane, in Reston, is going to need a bigger garbage can, after last night's damage. pic.twitter.com/azDCnEXUSB

Storm damage in Reston. Neighbors say they were in the basement when they got an alert for a tornado. Didn’t hear the tree come down, but are thinking about cutting down trees after seeing this. @fox5dc pic.twitter.com/6MYCEEfpMi
