Brooklyn Tornado/ Micro Burst - Best Footage of Storm!! September 16, 2010

This is the best view of the actual storm coming in and hitting, not footage of the aftermath. We headed up to our rooftop, facing south/southwest, not knowing about the Tornado Warning, and saw menacing clouds coming from the south, south west. There was constant thunder, and we have heard people describe tornados as sounding like a train coming, and thats what we heard.... The thunder and lightening was constant, and there was an eerie feeling all around us. Once the rain came, we fled to our apartment and filmed out the window. 80 mph gusts rip through the trees. It was awesome and the true sense of the word. Check out my new website: http://www.kabelis.com/wp

Come to oklahoma and you will see it every year. We can smell and feel that stuff before its even there it happens so much! Fun stuff. I had a girlfriend from california and she didnt believe me when I said the sky gets green before a tornado until she witnessed one

I am a professional storm spotter anytime you see a greenish tint to the sky like you filmed here that usually means a severe microburst or tornado quite rare to see in Brooklyn but as you seen it can happen.

Some comments below are unjustified and harsh and those people need to get a grip! I think it's a great video - it may not show an actual tornado but it really captures that wonderful build up when a storm rolls in, I love that feeling and it was pretty dramatic, better than any storms we get in the UK, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing this video, lovely quality too! Keep up the good work :)
