Good morning, Washington. As you might have guessed, much of the Green Apple Festival and Earth Day concerts on the National Mall were rained out. Did you head down there anyway, despite Sunday’s impressive electrical storm? Two tornadoes actually touched down in Maryland as a part of this storm system, and two planes made emergency landings at BWI and Dulles after getting struck by lightning. The Capital Weather Gang says today’s rain will be much calmer, and make way for sunny and dry conditions after Tuesday. How did you weather the storm?

Burglaries Way Up in District: The Post reports this morning on a big spike in burglaries in the District, which are up 21 percent. Police are blaming the economy as the main reason why so many more people are becoming victims of break-ins. The city saw 922 burglaries in the first quarter of this year, versus 761 in the same time period last year. Capitol Hill and in neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River, including Congress Heights, have seen the biggest increases.

Metro Crime Happens at End of Line: On Friday Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn said that the 10 Metro stations with the most crime last year were stops at or near the end of the lines in Fairfax and Prince George’s counties, and especially stations with parking lots.
