Tornado touches down in Queens




this is video of a tornado in Breezy Point of Queens

all of southern New York including the city and the Hudson valley were put under a tornado warning to 12 pm today. A Tornado watch remains until 9 pm.

*edit : sorry, i though Breezy point was Brooklyn. I stand corrected, can a mod edit the title?

Is this the waterspout that came ashore as a tornado and sandblasted Rockaway?

But supposedly, there were two. Where did the other one strike?

I was scanning the local radar on w/underground that day and the radar echoes were pretty minimal. Rotation developed out of thin squall lines just south of areas hit, and the storm cells themselves barely making it to the Bronx and Westchester. But the warning came up very fast, which was very encouraging about how good detection has improved, I guess.
