Brooklyn Tornado of 2010

Well, that was pretty crazy. (Or as the videographer in the second video on the jump said, “Holy Shit!”) It only lasted a few minutes, but sometime around 5:30 p.m. yesterday a small tornado touched down in Brownstone Brooklyn, wreaking havoc on many trees, cars and houses and leaving other spots virtually untouched. We took a walk around Clinton Hill in the aftermath and have included a lot of the photos we took along with a bunch sent in by readers. Thanks so much to everyone for sending them in.
