A tornado in Queens???
Yes it might be true and it sure looked like one. The trees and branches are down.My neighbors car back window was smashed. I got home about 5 minutes before it hit. I know Ishouldn't have but I watched it from my window. I went out an hour later to get won ton soup so Ihave kreplach for my erev yom kippur chicken soup and Main St was so backed up. Trees down on side streets sirens from Hatzoloha and fire dept. I heard and saw pictures of Queens College inoor tennis court blown off I heard the bleachers just flew over the fence and smashed cars etc. It took me 1 1/2 hours to get to work since my route was the reverse of the tornado route and goes through cemeteries. Trees were down tombstones knocked over. When I passed a certain point it looked like nothing happened and it was clear sailing to work. The eruv is down but hopefully it will be up in time for Yom Kippur. Have an easy fast g'mar chasima tova. This gives more meaning to our prayers.

I thought this ain't Kansas. Glad you are safe. Next time go to an interior part of the house with no windows like your hallway.
ReplyDeleteI was looking out my living room window which is recesed and facing north. The storm was coming from the South East.
