Tornadoes strike Canarsie, Breezy Point
Tornadoes struck Canarsie Breezy Point on Saturday, hurling debris into the air, knocking out power but causing no serious injuries among startled residents accustomed to thinking of twisters as a Midwestern phenomenon.
The first hit Breezy Point, a beachfront neighborhood on the western edge of the Rockaway peninsula within view of Coney Island; the second, stronger tornado followed moments later in Canarsie.
Videos taken by bystanders showed a funnel cloud sucking up water, then sand, and then small pieces of buildings, as the first moved through Breezy Point.
