| Experienced the recent tornado that hit nyc? share your stories/pics here. I'm sure that some of us have a lot to tell, especially since we've never had a tornado of such magnitude hit nyc before. |

I sat on my couch playing video games and was completely oblivious to what was going on outside because I made it home from work before the storm began brewing. I saw lighting and heard thunder only once followed by some heavy rainfall but really didn't think anything of it. It's rain, it happens :p
I woke up this morning to see the streets covered in tree branches, luckily my card didn't take any damage. The End! |

| Queens took the bigger brunt of the tornado. My neighborhood is covered with branches and it's just a huge mess. Kew gardens and Forest Hills especially, some of the stuff is unimaginable. Humungous trees laying on the ground or landed on cars/houses...messed up sidewalks etc. just a total wreck |

If you were in Mid-Town I recall tons of thunder and lighting but no rain. Then it became very dark and then the rain begain and 20 minutes later it became light again.
The E train was more packed than usual due to the LIRR weather/track issues. Cheaper and more reliable :) except no schedules |

I was sitting at my desk on the 34th floor by the South Street Seaport when the sky turned GREEN and torrential rains, winds, hail, lightning.
I went to take a piss and smoke a cigarette in the stairwell, and by the time i got back it was DONE.
Thank god i went out of the city through southern Queens, the 7 and the LIRR were shut down. Took my buddy SIX HOURS to get home from woodside to flushing in a car.
I live a block away from Queens College. If you saw the pictures of the College you can imagine my neighborhood.
Three windows of my car smashed. My neighbors garage is leveled. No power on my block due to three transformers hanging by threads off the posts. Trees down all over the place, I can't even drive a block close to my house. My neighborhood is a in warzone. Everybody is OK though.
Geico is getting it later today LOL. |

I heard the rear of the college caught most of the damage. I live towards the front side and it's not really that bad. I'm gonna walk down there and check it out later. |
