On Thursday a severe storm hit the neighborhoods of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island in the New York area. The storm showed typical signs of a tornado. However, the National Weather Service had to analyze data to determine whether or not it in fact was a tornado that caused the severe damage. There were reported winds from 60 to 80 miles an hour in the area. The storm caused much damage. According to the article there were multiple reports of small fires, power failures, and reports to building from fallen tree limbs. Sadly, there was a woman who died because a tree limb fell on her car. Of course this storm and possible tornado is of great concern when it hits in such a highly populated area.
