Tuesday’s violent summer storms across Greater Washington carried some spectacular visuals, from dark clouds to vivid skyscapes during sunset.
But lightning always wins — especially when it blows something up.

MRP and Florida Rock Development are working on a 305-unit apartment building with ground-floor retail at Dock 79. It is scheduled to deliver in 2016. In March, Bardo Brewpub announced plans to open a beer garden nearby.
