Subject: New York battered by twin tornadoes
Written By: Philip Eno on 09/18/10 at 2:03 am
US weather experts say a freak storm with two tornadoes was to blame for a trail of destruction across New York City that left one person dead.
More than 1,000 trees were uprooted and power was cut to hundreds of homes when the storm struck on Thursday.
The woman who died was in a car hit by a falling tree and had just switched seats with her husband, who survived.
It was the ninth time New York City has been hit by a tornado since 1950, and the second this year, officials said.
The US National Weather Service said on Friday that the tornadoes had been part of a fast-moving storm, along with a fierce microburst with speeds up to 125mph (200 km/h).
The storm travelled from Staten Island, across New York harbour and then carved a 14-mile (22km) path of destruction from Brooklyn to the Bayside neighbourhood in Queens.

Did the sky suddenly turn a thick white where you were? Where I was, it looked like the sky had suddenly been blanketed in thick white ash or a extremely thick mist. You couldn't see anything.

I'm not well-traveled. I've never spent time in the midwest. I would like to, though. Anyway, tornadoes are a scary problem out there. I've seen funnel clouds as just a transitory vortex in a dying storm and it always looks spooky. It can blow through and leave one farm destroyed and the adjacent farm untouched.
