Tornados in New York
This story doesn’t take place in NYC, but it deserves to be noted. On July 12, 2006 there was severe weather in Dutchess and Putnam county. I was in Tarrytown in Westchester and there were tornados moving through the area. A tornado ran right through the center of downtown Tarrytown nocking down very large trees and ripping small trees right out of the ground. It was a site to see. The main roads were shut down and I had to walk about two miles from work in order to get to a train which took me back to the safety of NYC. The day before I narrowly avoided going through the tunnel in Boston which had a 14 ton ceiling tile break free, falling, and killing a lady. I think I will stay at home for a while.
