I was right next to those trucks thankfully on their left side when that tornado hit ... It was by far the scariest moment in my life

I live in queens, and more than 6 HUGE trees fell down, a gate was blown off, cars are destroyed, and all the roads are blocked. The construction site was also destroyed. Garbage bags are everywhere.Hopefully people are safe.
