No! Not that kind…Strong winds and heavy rainstorms tore through the Big Apple early Wednesday, killing one person and wreaking havoc on the region's transit system and causing delays at two major airports.
The Sunset Park neighborhood in Brooklyn lost as many as 40 percent of its trees, according to Commissioner Joe Bruno of the city Office of Emergency Management.
"I never thought this would happen in Brooklyn. ... Kansas maybe, but not here."The NWS said a tornado first touched down about 6:30 a.m., damaged trees, then lifted, tearing off the roof of the Nissan dealership. It returned to the ground farther northeast, the weather service said, causing more tree damage.
It touched down a third time in another area, ripping the roofs off five homes and causing more tree damage. By that point, meteorologists said, its winds had died down to 100 mph.
