Sept 16, 2010 NYC storm


Wind Gust of up to 122 miles per hour associated with a squalline of Supercell Thunderstorms produced extensive damage in New York City and fatally injured one person this past Thursday. The National Weather Service confirmed that this storm produced 2 Tornadoes and a Microburst in New York City proper. This event marks the 3rd Tornado in New York City in less than two months. This also brings the historical record for Tornadoes in New York City up to 10 since records have been kept. Here is a video recorded in Corona in the borough of Queens. This video is pretty intense, it looks more like a scene from Florida than New York City.
