    BTW the strong cold front that is bringing in this weather is supposed to cool your area down considerably. After this front passes we are supposed to get cooler drier weather too with highs only in the 70's and low 50's at night. That's gonna feel like winter after all this heat and humidity. This has been a long and vbrutal summer with constant high heat and humidity and severe weather. And apparently it ain't through yet.

    At one time it was weird. As a child the thought of a tornado in NYC seemed crazy. Now it seems to be more normal than weird.

    Gee, I wonder what has changed...other than my own understanding of the carbon cycle?

    We're more North as NY but we get the occasional F1 or F2 tornado's here, not very much, but we do get them.
    Waterspouts are quite common over our greater lakes and near the coast though, they also can be dangerous.

    Weather and it's effects are changing things, i'm wondering how far...

    Not to worry, Doug, that tornado was a tourist from Oklahoma in NYC just to see the tall buildings.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    It came through here last night. We had a 30 degree temperature drop in about 15 minutes....right at 100F about 4pm yesterday, then down to the low 70's. It was 55F this morning when I got up.
    Glad you're ok!

    Well, we're ok for now. Radar shows a massive line of storms a few hours away and the tornado watch is still on till 9:00 pm. Right now its so damned humid out there it's incredible. You step into an non-air conditioned room and you just drip sweat.

    Lizann Maher, a worker at Kennedy's Restaurant at the edge of Jamaica Bay, said she saw a "swirling cone kind of thing with something flying in it" come down and then head back out into the water toward Brooklyn.

    That was Dorothy waving as she went by. I didn't see anything about a tornado watch but we're under a severe storm watch until 10:00pm. Yeah, comin' atcha!
