Luckily, the twister missed my neighborhood. It hit the Bay Ridge area, a mile or so away - I'm pretty much in the center of Brooklyn. Bay Ridge got the worst of it - lots of downed trees, flooding, and the roofs were damaged on (or torn from) several homes.
The rain was very intense, with lots of lightning. The thunder was so bad (and incredibly loud) that at one point it sounded like a bomb went off on my street.
I can't remember something like this ever happening here before.
This gives a whole new meaning to our minor league baseball team being called the Brooklyn Cyclones.
