Earlier today, Brooklyn and Queens were hit with a completely unlikely tornado—and now, there's a possibility that ANOTHER tornado could touch the city sometime this evening. A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for the five boroughs—heavy rains and wind are expected, as well as a "possible tornado."
In addition to the city, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and East Orange counties—as well as Passaic, Union, Bergen, Essex and Hudson counties in New Jersey—have all also been issued the thunderstorm warning until 6:30 p.m. We'll keep updating this post as we learn more—the weather has already provided some fittingly ominous clouds over Manhattan.
