UPDATE (Sat. 09/18/10): It has now been confirmed. Two tornadoes hit NYC during the storm - one in Brooklyn near the Brooklyn Bowl were we were preparing for the Millennium Network Event, the other in Queens.

Yesterday I was in Brooklyn when this HUGE storm passed through. It started with lightning every 10 seconds, then suddenly a downpour - seriously heaviest rain I have ever been in (well luckily I was inside preparing for the Millennium Event, but everybody went to the door to look at the crazy weather!). Then the wind picked up, hail the size of ping-pong balls started crashing down, and the rain became so intense that you could hardly see out the door! The street turned into a raging river (I read that there was 2 inches - more in some areas - of rain in the short 10-20 minute period). The wind roared up to 110 mph and apparently a tornado touched down nearby. I captured some video, but it is not nearly as hilarious as this video of two guys freaking out in Brooklyn!
lol. Those guys were funny! They sounded like little girls screaming over Justing Beiber or something. :P
