Two Tornadoes Strike in NYC

As the article says...folks in New York thought that tornadoes were only for the folks in the Midwest and the South...but not today.


NEW YORK (AP) — Two tornadoes struck New York City on Saturday, one swept out of the sea and hit a beachfront neighborhood and the second, stronger twister hit moments later, hurling debris in the air, knocking out power and startling residents who once thought of twisters as a Midwestern phenomenon.
Videos taken by bystanders showed a funnel cloud sucking up water, then sand, and then small pieces of buildings, as the first moved through the Breezy Point section of the Rockaway peninsula inQueens.
The second hit west, in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn also near the water, about seven minutes later. The National Weather Service said winds were up to 110 miles per hour, and several homes and trees were damaged.
No serious injuries were reported.
Residents had advance notice. The weather service had issued a tornado warning for Queens and Brooklyn at around 10:40 a.m. The storm took people by surprise anyway when it struck about 20 minutes later.
"I was showing videos of tornadoes to my 4-year-old on my phone, and two minutes later, it hit," said Breezy Point neighborhood resident Peter Maloney. "Just like they always say, it sounded like a train."
Seriously people...what do you think it will take to wake people up to say to themselves, "Wow!  The Creator of the universe is in control of everything and we are in control of nothing.  We need to repent and set our eyes on Him because ALL of the things he told us to 'Watch!' for are coming true at the exact same time!"
What will it take??
