It was confired that 2 tornados touched down 1 was in bklyn park slope and bed sty area the other in flushing most of the other areas hit were macrobursts (straight line winds). We probably had a combo since they said the hurricane was ony 100 yards wide. I took a tornado tour duirng the break yesterday and the block of Ohr Hachaim is probably the worst with a few down trees with their roots. smashed cars and 1 tree into the yard of a house and just missed hitting it. the house across the stree had some windows smashed and a small part of the roof damaged. Streets are still impassable. It is interesting to see on a couple of blocks tree felled in opposite drections while most tree topples in an easterly direction.
To those who live in a tornado zone and have to take cover when the sirens go off have luckily never been directly hit by a tornado it is eerie. We were lucky here. Part of Hillcrest lost power and the YI had it restored at 2pm erev Yom Kippur. Larry didn't have anything but some heavy rain .
Sorry Efraht I did not see any characters from the Wizard of Oz
