New York City Storm

You don't hear of severe weather in New York City and severe damage to buildings and trees but this storm whipped through New York yesterday and downed over 1,000 tress, damaged buildings and homes, and killed a women in her car.  The National Weather Service suspected that the storm produced a tornado because of the pattern and the way they trees had fallen.  When reading this I thought of the EF ratings that they talked about at the NWS today and how they determine whether a tornado hit by the pattern on the falled trees.  Researchers have suspected that because the way the numerous trees fell, a tornado was quite possibly present.  The storm covered 14 miles of the city and knocked out power to over 37,000 people and occured during the busy rush hour commute for many people.  Luckily no one was severly hurt and there was only one death.
