- geekchic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+90I was expecting an F2 Tornado to be a fighter jet.
- nymphetamine, on 10/10/2007, -10/+83I blame manbearpig.
- versionist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+54I woke up in Brooklyn to a TORNADO WARNING! WTF? Like I know what the hell to do in that situation! Duck and cover? Stand under a tree? Stop drop and roll?
- peppaz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33On Staten Island, the sound of this storm was ridiculous. At first, for about 3 hours, it was a very entertaining SILENT lightning show in the sky. Not one bit of thunder or rain along with the multiple forms of lightning which were striking about every 1-3 seconds. Then I laid down about 5 am and I swear if I hadn't saw the lightning earlier, I would have though we were under attack. This was the kind of thunder you can feel in your chest and will wake you out of a deep sleep. Car and house alarms instantly blared from the first crack of thunder, and repeatedly tripped for about 2 hours. Water was shooting upwards from the manhole covers, and I awoke to find two dead robins and a bluejay in my pool with lightning burns to their NECKS.. Then today it was 105 degrees at the Korn show at PNC.
mmmmm emissions... - Coven, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31Stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye...
- Retype, on 10/10/2007, -4/+34wow... they landed a F2 Tornado in Brooklyn ???
... will be stolen within the hour guarenteed! - ltkerr0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Because Brooklyn isn't exactly tornado alley. Tornadoes are kinda rare around here
- orlyfactor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21They could have used "BREAKING", since it broke a lot of *****.
- JonAce, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16It was one hell of a storm...
- Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panavia_Tornado_variants#RAF_Tornado_F.2
Same, I immediately thought of the Fighter Jet - dreagen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Yeah us New Yorkers are Taught what to do when a Tornado comes... They Hit New York all the time.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I blame Xenu
- sillywampa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10A Tree Falls in Brooklyn?
- hasslinthehoff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Right now I think Dennis Quaid is trying to get Bloomberg to believe that it's only going to get worse. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens the day after tomorrow.
- handheldchimp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I live in NJ near Princeton, and when this storm blew through us I could have sworn we were going to get hit by a tornado...it was a freaking light show that seemed like it would never end!
- karmatized, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10dude that was in my area, i can take a walk and see tree's lopped over cars and roofs ripped right off. 1889 was the last one that brooklyn had and i dont even know if it was as strong.
- wilhoitm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Tornado's in the Hood!
- jason469, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10We in the North Eastern say NO! to tornados. Give us the blizzards and give the south the tornados.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Meanwhile, you people in Florida close down the entire state and run for cover whenever a few snowflakes fall out of the sky.
- Anthracene, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Are you serious? There are tornados on all continents minus antarctica. Most other continents do not have a Great Plain. China has them in the Gobi desert and they occur in africa in the south and some in the north. In the southern hemisphere they rotate clockwise instead. Even Siberia has had one at least once.
North America just has them on tap. - Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Yeah, there was less damage from the tornado then the destruction of Matthew Broderick's performance.
- orlyfactor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Same up here in Bergen County. If only the tornado could have hit Morningside Heights where my ex-girlfriend lives...maybe next time.
- BESTenemy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7To paraphrase George Carlin:
"Weather event? Sounds important! Gotta get tickets to that!" - clyde2801, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Wow...are there trailer parks in Brooklyn? And before you ask how I can laugh at a tornado, keep in mind that I'm in Oklahoma.
- scorpshockey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6For the record, this was an EF2 tornado. The NWS has been using the Enhanced Fujita Scale since February.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Fujita_Scale - easyone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6A news site with a digg link in it? Didn't know you had to push people to read the legit news O_O
- TheDragon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6WTF are candels?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I live in Texas and tornadoes still scare the hell outta me
- goeatsmsht, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I see what you did there.....
- DSGalvin, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I live in Oklahoma and we eat F2's for breakfast....
- Jrr6415sun, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6i'm living on the bayridge shore for the summer, and that was ridiculous. Trees smashing cars and roofs blowing off houses. Subways being flooded. It took me 3 hours to get to work yesterday, it was hell.
- Frosty122, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6welcome to Texas.......
- rschroeder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5There are no trailer parks in Brooklyn, what gives? I did see and old hag flying by my window on a bicycle with a dog in a basket attached to the handle bars! Seriously, I just moved to Queens from Brooklyn, just in time I guess. The LIRR station was under 5 feet of water, it took my 3 hours to go 13 miles to work in Manhattan. Back to Brooklyn tonight for the Beastie Boys @ MCCarren Park Pool. Let the beat DROP!
- MeMongo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Sometimes it's just strong winds and it only seems like a tornado went through. We get that all the time in FL. A few years ago a strong storm pushed through and a down draft hit a restaurant basically destroying it. Trees were knocked over, as were cars. It all followed a nice straight path for a few hundred meters. Everyone said "Tornado", but no one actually saw a funnel cloud and not a single weather RADAR picked up enough rotation to even suggest that an F1 twister hit that area. It was just a really strong gust of wind.
Who cares if it was a tornado or not? I'm sure that insurance companies care for one reason or another (so they can refuse to pay you or cancel your policy), but I have a feeling that it is mostly for scientific data and weather prediction. We had these variables and a tornado couldn't form but very destructive winds hit. - JohnnyXmas, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6FTA: ""I just wanted to lay down and die," Brooklyn resident May Johnson told CBS 2."
LOL what?! - nblsavage, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7It's being called "climate change" because morons like you keep saying "global warming can't be happening - it's cold here"
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5NYC would suck ass without Brooklyn
- rabidg00se, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Brooklyn != the Bronx
- fashiontrot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I slept through this, then woke up and rode my bike into Manhattan as usual while the city was paralyzed by a cripped transit system.
My grin ate some extra ***** while I breezed past all the stuck commuters. - ManOfVirtues, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Ok being from Western Iowa (average 40 - 80 tornadoes a year) and a trained weather spotter I have a bit of advice for those of you who don't know what to do in the event of Tornado.
1.) Put on your official "I'm in a twister" uniform. Men, Cut off jean shorts, white dirty tank (wife beater for the young members of the audience), and no shoes you don't want to get them wet. Women, T shirt from the last Nascar event, Moo moo, half of your hair curlers, and house shoes. Never mind the reality that if you do get hit your going to want to be wearing full durable pants, hard sole boots or tennis shoes, and a sweatshirt( you may not be cold now but you will be).
2.) Grab your camcorder and run outside because you know you want your footage for the next family gathering "Larry come in here, you got to see this!! Steve and I got a block away from the tornado." Do this even when logic tells you to go to the lowest level of your house/building to a room with no windows preferably on an interior wall carrying your battery powered radio, flashlight, a couple candy bars, and a bottle water because you may be down their a while.
3.) So for some reason you ended up in the basement, against your lesser judgment, be sure to send your fastest person upstairs every five minutes to see if its safe. Wait at least an hour before venturing upstairs or outside. If you go never go anywhere alone. Storms like to chain but the most severe will most likely be the first to hit.
Depending on how you read this you will either end up really dead really quick, or laughing the next day at the shallow end of the gene pool. - Enlightenment, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4yeah that sucks, so that was just a F2, here is what an incredible 1.7 mile wide F5 tornado will do!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Greensburg%2C_Kansas_2007May09_-_after_tornado.jpg - QueenzTREEZ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Roads are never flooded where I live, and this storm had everywhere looking like a lake yesterday morning, I just happened to be awake and walked around at 7 am. Cars were under water and just stupid people were driving their cars right through these ponds and simply seizing the engine, a good 4 on my block destroyed their cars, retards. I even saw a car on fire and waited for the gas tank to blow but it slowly melted, I think lightning struck the car... NYC is ***** bananas bitches!
- MrDo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5It could just have been another Godzilla attack.
- gigawatts2k, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Ah, he must have used the same magic weather machine that he used to send Katrina toward the 9th Ward.
- jordanday, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Down in Australia they call them cyclones.
But they're really tornadoes. - jordanday, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4My goodness...
this was,
THE PERFECT TROLL!
Somehow momsshizzle managed to troll on race AND operating system!
Gentlemen, the end is near. - MrVictor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I hope it sent all of the Staten Island guidos to Ozz.
- MrDaniil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I live on the beach and how the hell did I manage to miss all that!? Although the after shocks were felt well - subways weren't running and F was so full.... Feel sort for bad now; people got their homes torn apart and cars smashed in the middle of the night and here I am complaining about the subway. True New Yorker :)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Tornado In Brooklyn... Home land security involved.... You retards it was a UFO or some Giant robot .gov experiment..... Or a new 18-08-08 promotion stunt.
- bheilig, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The last tornado in Brooklyn was in 1889. The last tornado in NYC was in 1998.
