Great Neck NY 6/24/10 2:30 Tornado

this was about 1 mile away from the actual tornado that recently hit great neck new york the eye of the tornado was in the park across the well known "deli on the green" winds hit up to 100 mph and there was hail and hard rain. the tornado was about 5 minutes and i started filming 2 minutes into it there were tons of trees that fell down and when i tried to drive home all the paths were cut off by trees so i had to leave my car and walk home. There hasnt been a tornado in great neck in over 300 years.

It wasnt a tornado ,it was called a downdraft microburst.I studied meteorology and there was no rotation in the debris and trees.Thats how you can tell the difference between a tornando and a microburst.This great neck storm was pure straight line winds.

@fadethetrade if you were on middle neck road in the park across deli on the great there was a actually a tornado that was wind spining around picking up trees and throwing them everywhere it just wasnt effective to kingspoint

@wbk94 No bro, I live in Great Neck and I witnessed all the trees surrounding my house either land on my car or hit the walls of my house. I saw no spiral, no one did. A tornado can't extend all the way from the plaza to kensington. It's impossible.

@wbk94 Thats part of the microburst,when the storm cloud bursts,the air and rain rush downward and as it its the ground the air rushes in all directions horizontally,east,south,north and west.A funnell cloud was supposedly spotted by some overzealous people but it never came close to touching down.Experts combed kings point and did not find rotational evidence from limbs trees and debris from a twister.Do you dispute like this with your school teachers my son??
