Brooklyn Tornado 2010

[Maserati7200]

I live in Brooklyn and have a great memory. Why do I have zero recollection of this whatsoever?

[Michael87Jackson]

College guys upstairs. "Dude look at that tree! look at it!"

[BlossomTreeLover]

the people above u are out saying DUDE LOOK AT THE TREE

[kewlccc]

woah hoa hoaaaaah! there!!!!

[emilyisatexasgirl]

LOOK AT THAT TREE!

[svtheatre16]

idk. I live in the midwest and I know what tornadoes do and what they look like. I can honestly say I don't think that was a tornado. The set up wasn't right. Toranadic weather looks a certain way beofore it strikes.

I'm really sorry for sounding like a total troll. I'm just saying I guess I just haven't seen the indication of a tornado in any of the videos.

straightline winds perhaps? whatever that was, it was just wierd. great vid though!

[WetPooooopie]

the rains were out of hand

[coolnick52]

I know the same feeling, When I was 8 during Hurricane floyd I remember looking out the window excited, but scared at the same time thinking the window was going to blow in on my face.

[Kimdashtim362]

the tornado is ready to hit us and let out its anger with tears

[InsayneDaRoss]

If it was anything to be worried about im sure you wouldnt be dumb enough to stand near the window.... right? well actually... it is new york...

[daburack]

@InsayneDaRoss What has interested me much about some of the comments on this video and others on the tornado posted by other Brooklynites is how important it seems to be for non-New Yorkers to deprive New Yorkers of at least some genuine experiences that the rest of the country assumes are reserved for them. And also, how important it is to make New Yorkers appear to be dumb. I love New York; it really does have everything.

[DTRAVELZ]

@daburack Well said. Everything except earthquakes. Lets hope we don't get those lol.

[kensaya]

@DTRAVELZ we get those =w= CA Ftl

[Shane88L]

@daburack I would love to go to NY soon - Great vid btw !

[drenrin2120]

@InsayneDaRoss

Secondly, who's proud of living in an area with tornados? I lived in kansas for 3 years and I was not proud of nearly having everything I owned destroyed and possibly someone I love killed. So yeah, this shit IS crazy. Though people who are saying this is a sign of global warming, 2012, and the end of the world, please, fucking kill yourselves.

[67tr876]

@InsayneDaRoss you're an asshole

[InsayneDaRoss]

@67tr876 watch?v=JTVpxxzb2Dc

[trueandliving]

[Modacolorist]

In Bedstuy, it was raining from right to left going down Nostrand ave. That is how hard the wind was blowing.

[TheSinkronik]

OWW MY GAWD, LOOK AT THE TREE!

[JamessProductionss]

This reminds me of "The Mist" by Stephan Kings, very creepy stuff, hope the tornado didn't cause too much damage to you guys.

[COD7ISCRAZY]

Mother Nature, I love you!

[daburack]

@COD7ISCRAZY My sentiments exactly.

[TheComputerMaster]

THIS is NOT A TORNADO ive had to say this to over 16 videos:@

[daburack]

From National Weather Service public information statement: "...FRI SEP 17 2010 ...TWO TORNADOES AND A MACROBURST CONFIRMED ON SEPTEMBER 16 2010... ...TORNADO CONFIRMED...IN KINGS COUNTY (BROOKLYN) NY...TOUCHED DOWN IN PARK SLOPE AND LIFTED 2 MILES NE OF PARK SLOPE...TORNADO CONFIRMED...IN QUEENS COUNTY NY...TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN 2 1/2 MILES SOUTH OF FLUSHING AND LIFTED 1 MILE NE OF BAYSIDE...CONFIRMED A MACROBURST /STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE/ NEAR MIDDLE VILLAGE IN QUEENS COUNTY NY..."

[TheComputerMaster]

GRRRRRR THERE WAS NO TORNADO IN THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRR

[daburack]

@TheComputerMaster 1. National Weather Service coordinates show touchdown of Tornado #1 exactly at my location. 2. What you're looking at is the south wall or edge of the twister as it passed over my block; view south, twister rotates counterclockwise, southern edge therefore going West to East, right to left in my video. 3. True, it was the lowest category of Tornado, F0, windspeeds = 40-72 mph. But the key is the rotational nature of the storm cell.

[NereidDeimos]

@TheComputerMaster dude, your life sucks now

[tubingen92]

@TheComputerMaster

How can you see a tornado inside a storm through some homemade videos?

Two tornados and a microburst were confirmed by scientists.

Thank god we don't rely on wannabe meteriologists that watch homemade videos !!

@Vrak100 BACK OWNED AND PWNED

[wolffenhaus]

on a lighter note brooklyn should have a youtube team. or at Least a meet uP. WhAT SAY YOU?

[Kracg999]

I thought tornadoes could only happen if there is enough open ground.

[TheBestDude07]

oh well this is nothing whats coming to us enjoy the show peeps :)

[brendanjames1995]

Lol, I see bugs hitting window.

[something1495]

I'm glad i'm in long beach.

[CarmelCandyNikki]

its so pretty i luv rain

[jujumediazone]

I had something similar happen when I was in middle school some 20 years ago. I watched a tree being whipped in one direction only to suddenly be whipped in the opposite direction all in about five seconds. Later we learned that a tornado had actually lightly touched down in Oakland, California a few miles from my location then.

[daburack]

@jujumediazone That switching of the wind direction from E->W to W->E is what made me realize that I was in or on the edge of tornado, and that as it died here the counter-clockwise turning south edge of the cell had to have just passed behind me. The NWS coordinates show that twister #1 did in fact touch down maybe less that a block north (behind) my apartment. What a great experience for a 70-year-old weather buff who had despaired of ever chasing one of these storms down. It came to me!

[Babegirlcass]

@Mugrs

Not to mention the National Weather Service confirmed TWO tornadoes.

[RealEstateSINY]

You got yourself a Tornado, how you know is the Trees blowing shift direction as it moves past. Amazing.

[NewHellraiser]

NWS Confirmed Two tornados hit NYC. One EF0 and one EF1

[romka4567]

ye i don't think this was a tornado the one that hit bay ridge like 2-3yrs ago i think that was a tornado because it ripped off roofs on brownstones. This is a storm

[dzgfdg]

im pretty sure it didn't form a funnel (complete!) because of the buildings in the way

[TRUTHBETOLD10]

Nice vid

[Moonjade1907]

This was NOT a strong hurricane lol....whoever says this is a strong hurricane has never experienced a hurricane or a strong one at that period! lol...

I was in Andrew, Katrina, Wilma among MANY other hurricanes in my life and that would not equal a strong hurricane lol. Ive also been in weather that has produced Tornadoes. Not everything with wind gusts equals a strong hurricane. Hurricane Andrew for example knocked down all of Homestead FL and picked up school buses and threw them into houses

[TheXion13]

@Mugrs and I still cant believe you are calling this a hurricane.. how stupid. dude stfu and start watching the weather channel

[TheXion13]

@Mugrs oh dont be an idiot. Read what I said, I said it was definitely a Microburst, but because the winds in the video rotated, there must have been a passing funnel.

[stormmoss]

Yeah this looks like a very strong wet microburst at this location. Looks like about 70 mph at times.

[daburack]

1. Tornado: "a localized and violently destructive windstorm occurring over land characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground" -- wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/­webwn "a violent, dangerous, rotating column of air which is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud." –Wikipedia

[daburack]

2. A funnel cloud had been sighted. The National Weather Service is making an assessment of the available data and will advise soon if this “microburst” met the official definition. I'm pretty sure that I was on the southern edge of a cyclonic cell. My view was southwest, whence came the warm front and squall line. The wind was right to left, i.e., west to east, before dying out: the counter-clockwise rotating cell was brushing by behind me to the north.

[daburack]

3. This storm met none of the criteria for a hurricane except for being cyclonic (i.e., counterclockwise whirling), as are virtually all storms in the northern hemisphere.

[mcgeeb1215]

That is no tornado.

[Mugrs]

Don't be surprised, because it has nothing to do with supercells or tornadoes. It's simply a hurricane, but a nice one.

[TheXion13]

@Mugrs well you obviously have no clue what youre talking about..

anyway Daburak - Its a definite Microburst there but considering the change in wind direction, there was a funnel (possibly a tornado if on the ground) that passed by either in front or behind you. probable from the right to the left side. since the wind was coming straight ahead, and then turned from right to left. In any case it couldnt have been too strong, otherwise the rotation would have been much more sudden and severe.
