<p>Well sort of.</p><p>The building I work in was hot by one.</p><p>It ripped off an entire glass paned section of the building.</p><p>Blew out a row of windows in a conference room.</p><p>A bunch of poor bastards' cars got crushed by trees and the aflling debris.</p><p>I lucked out as my car was parked right under a tree that didnt get uprooted.</p><p>The car next to me had a tree on top of it but not the trunk so probably only got some scratches from the branches.</p><p>I heard all the people talking afterwards about how the felt the pressure and their ears popping right before it hit but I didnt feel anything.</p><p>I didn't even know we had tornados in NY.</p><p>News said some Statie's car was flipped over w/ him in it ( he's fine ) and that an 18 wheeler was pushed over on its side.</p><p>Crazy stuff.</p><p>I think I'm getting a freebie off day tomorrow and God willing maybe Friday as well.</p>

i recently moved from hawthorne, not to far from where it touched down. that area is awful when it comes to flooding and whatnot. im glad i'm not there anymore...they said it may be a couple of days before power comes back

<p>I'm up in Bedford. I drive past that area every other day coming down the Saw Mill (shortcut to the TZ). </p><p>Lightning hit the house across the street from me during yesterday's storm. My property has a 100+ foot cliff of granite and topped with trees behind the house -- much higher than the house across the street, so it was somewhat surprising.</p>

<p>We actually had to come back to work today.</p><p>Fascists !!</p><p>One of the security cameras caught a portion of the window buckling in. It was pretty cool.</p><p> </p>
