I was working at the State Dept building in Washington. We watched it on the TV monitors throughout the building. Soon after they evacuated us but didn't tell us why, later heard a rumor that they were afraid the SD building would be targeted. They never told us to go home for the day, just told us to leave the building. So we waited outside for an hour and then just decided to go home. Many people left the building without their belongings and coats. Lucky for me, I brought my purse out with me or I would not have been able to get home without money and my house keys.
