Day 19: Severe Weather in the Big Apple

Am heading out to my college roommate's party, but wanted to show you some interesting pictures I just took of the current severe weather. We were actually under a Tornado Warning when I took these photos.

The Edge of the Storm, from my corner:















Funnel Cloud?















This one reminded me of Captain Hook.














**EDIT** It turns out that Tornado Warnings are extremely rare in New York City. I guess this heat couldn't last forever without causing some sort of atmospheric trouble!

  1. Did Bill Paxton show up at your door and whisk you down to the subbasement, only to have you both end up IN THE EYE OF THE TORNADO???!!!

  2. Yes, but we survived by tying ourselves with leather harnesses to a metal pipe and riding it out. I was very brave, you should be proud!
