Re: Your Winfield Tornado Stories
I live in New York, outside of NYC in fact. On June 24th, we had a horrible storm that lasted all of seven minutes. Everybody was convinced it was a tornado, but it was later confirmed to be a micro-burst, or down spout. Air cools, and thus drops rapidly, and fans out when it hits the ground. Our Volkswagon Rabbit was near totaled(decimated windshield, and bashed up driver side). We lost power for five days straight, and the humidity resulted in a strange asthma attack type thing, except it was gradual....Not fun.
About a week ago, there was another horrible storm in the area. This time however, there were tornados in Brooklyn and Queens. My town wasn't hit too bad, but there were trees down here and there, as opposed to the 2/3 of all the trees in the area being on the ground in June. Now, every time there's a hint of thunder, I grab my mando and put it in a nice corner, away from any window possible. Good thing that baby's insured
