Pulled from a story: The 1:20 pm ASOS (March 2) from Dulles: NW46G60. 12:50 pm ASOS from KDCA: NW44G58.

Apparently the main tower at IAD was evacuated for a half hour at some point. A video is circulating of an interesting go-around at DCA, and there's another from Richmond Va (RDU). I rarely post here so I can't add a url, but searching for WNCN and "jet makes rough landing at rdu during high winds" oughta do it. Several corrections on the way down but the payoff is abrupt main-gear touchdown (after which the aircraft immediately is obscured behind buildings).
