In fact it was closer to my Uncle's house in MD than it was to DC.

August 25, 1814: A "most tremendous hurricane" struck the city during the 
Burning of Washington during the War of 1812. There are few historical accounts 
of this event, and many sources disagree on the details. Some sources question 
whether this event was a tornado or a hurricane. However, most agree that it 
was a true tornado, and some maintain that it was a tornado followed closely by 
a hurricane.
