I've said it before, and I'll say it again - a weather video shot with a STABLE, STATIONARY camera (like this one) is a thing of rare beauty.
Exactly! The quality and setup for this video is flawless especially for 2010.
As opposed to the one where Fred is in his backyard videoing a twister with his Motorola Razor and with Mildred shouting at him to get in the basement.
@@rvarnum Lmaooo I definitely appreciated the silence. I understand that people get very excited and can't really control their loud babbling, though. But I do appreciate the quiet ones and the ones where they edit the audio.
@@rvarnum and, of course, I appreciate the use of high quality equipment INCLUDING a tripod 😆
As the person who shot this weather video, I agree wholeheartedly.
New Yorkers don't let anything stop them from walking their dwwogs
Lmao In buffalo nobody says that. That's specifically brooklyn accent
You mean dawgs! LOL
Either that, or clean up the poop in the kitchen!
slooob23 or riding their bikes
He was most likely out and about like everybody else was ...
So um TH-cam just decided to show me this 8 years later? Lol okay.
It's been 10 years now!!
This video has been published Since September, 2010. It has been on U Tube. Use the drop down arrow to get the date and info.
Gracie k. You've been watching a lot of weather clips lately that's why.
I think why this video got recommended to me was because I watched Horror Stories' latest video on the deadliest tornado.
Hahagagaha 😎
kkkkk
Tornado hits
New Yorkers immediately after it passes: “the fahk was dat?” Continues on with day
Midwesterners: it was just a breeze, carry on folks
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can't believe the lights stayed on.Here in Pittsburgh you fart and the lights go off.
You might wanna look into changing your diet.
Hahaha
sam mich
Don't fart
In New York the power lines are underground
sam mich fart in your socks it helps prevent the black out.
I love how New Yorkers keep going on with their day like ain't shit happening. 🤣🌪️🌪️
To be fair, this hardly counts as a "tornado". Just got a little windy for a minute or two. Nothing really to be concerned about.
Not even a tornado, this is a Downburst
That's because nothing was happening. That was a baby storm. I've flown kites in wind higher than that.
@@LT1HILLINGHOE bullshit
QUEEN ROYALTY the hustle never stops here
NY where life continues even in the middle of a tornado 💪
Mrs. Florez But not a pandemic...
shutup nigga
Envisage no u
That's just a little drizzle and a light breeze
This looks more like a microburst.
Ok since everyone is now seeing this. I am a meteorologist.
1.) Windows shattered to either pressure drop for tornado or strong winds
2.) Seeing a funnel from close range in a very dense suburban area is hard, as it is obstructed and reshaped by buildings
3.) Most tornado warnings are from radar, so there may have been spinning in the atmosphere hinted at by a vorticity couplet, but no actual tornado
4.) I believe there wasn’t, look how little the truck moved. Likely a downburst, but still very cool!
I don't believe it was a tornado either.
#4 should have been #1. Thx though.
I agree. Just a downburst. Great video though.
Bruh y’all having second guesses if this a tornado or not. We never have tornados in New York, at least not that I know of. Also, yes to some of you it might look like a tornado because it’s spinning or whatever, but it’s just the rain with a lot of wind, we don’t really see it as a big problem because we know it’s gonna go in like 5 minutes and then it’s gonna be back to normal
occams99 party’s lol
2:55 *"A tornado, you say? Insane! I'm gonna take my dog on a walk."*
😂😂😂
I did not see a tornado, just a Storm, I have seen rain storms like that , here in northern California
Dog is thinking this is crazy you
Stoopid human
That is just wind boi
Haha whoever was recording this was “CAUGHT IN A LIEEEEEE” sorry i will take my leave
Let's be honest, stoplights look cool in a storm.
It was almost romantic. I love how cities look during rain and storms in general.
aMAX Animations because its red bloody rain fall 💭💭💭💭💭
I do too ...and yes the best word to describe it is romantic.
BikerHM I know what you mean
looks awesome even the rain and the tornado
2:19 and 2:57 Yeah, just honk your horn at the tornado and it'll move out of the way.
Its a tornado. Its not going to listen

Remove all the buildings and cars and replace them with flat farm land, and that is a normal breezy day in North Dakota.
Man, you ain't lyin'. I took a road trip to Mt. Rushmore from Minnesota 2 summers ago. [I'm aware I went to S. Dakota, but still.] That wind was crazy! 😳
I live there i can vouch for this
Simon Smith Breezy day 😂
I live in north Dakota too lol flat as paper
Us Kansans can definitely relate to our friends in North Dakota. 😄
That was strangely soothing. I could watch that for hours
destruction is the ever most satisfying measure of practice.
Despite the potential for getting seriously injured or killed I wish I had random weather like that here in southern california. In SoCal it's summer like 80% of the year, spring for 18% and winter for 2%, lol. It's horrible. I love cold, REAL weather.
I'd kill to live in SoCal
Storm sounds are soothing in an odd way. Maybe it's the sound of the wind and the rain that makes it so.
Same. I **need** more.
Meanwhile, let me walk my dog.
Kreemerz perfect time to. Why not
I bet the guy was walking his dog and they got caught out in the storm.
even better.. drive on a bike with my child in the back...
Hey when fidoe has to go potty fidoe has to go potty
Nothing like a dog kite!
“Nothing can stop NYC!”

Didn't realize people got so defensive over their tornados until I looked through the comments.
It's just like anything else: I have it worse
"i hAvE iT wOrSe tHaTs nOt eVeN a tOrNaDo"
bruh have they heard of EF-0 and EF-1 tornadoes?
Cmon hipster chicks with leg tattoos blow harder than this in Brooklyn. This is just a t storm.
Lol 😂
@@CORPRAUST Yeah and this was pretty small for a tornado. It barely made it to EF 0 levels from the looks of it because the most it did was blast some windows open and throw trash. By the way EF 0 can be from 40 to 60 mph winds.

These people are just walking like nothing's happening
Brooklyn WHAT!
Nothing IS happening. In their minds...typical city dweller mind set...
@@pg1171 They don't call it the city that never sleeps for nothing.
I grew up in New York and this type of weather does not happen often if EVER.
They probably think it's just wind.
That’s nyc for ya
There's just something about the glow of the traffic signal lighting the way for weary travelers during this dark and terrible storm
Love how the light changes in this video from start to finish. There is nothing better than a dark stormy day. ♥️
Anybody noticed how the light on 7th Avenue turned green for the tornado and after it left, the light changed again. Even tornadoes obey the law :P
That is really weird

Tornado my ass... I live in Oklahoma...come on down and we will show you what the hell a Tornado is. That was maybe a microburst with some straight winds for like a minute. LOL.
Just because they're more prevalent in the mid-west doesn't mean they can't form elsewhere lmao
I would agree that this is more of a microburst, still pretty dank though. You can have your family killing tornados brother
I live in bethany, Oklahoma and it does get nasty lmao
Right? Hahaha I’m from El Reno!
@@mikaylahorse it gets even nastier in Reno
The thing that amazes me most about this video is how little it seems everyone gives a shit about basic traffic laws
Ikr? I wasn't sure if that's just how New Yorkers function or maybe everyone was full of anxiety during the storm lol.
Major city life. Red lights usually just indicate a intersection. In Tulsa people have to slow down at Green lights due to others running the reds, it's worse where the cameras are in place.
That's the city for you
This is by far the best tornado footage I've seen. The ground level rotation is so incredibly visible! Fantastic video... Thanks for sharing this!
Creepy how it hits out of nowhere! Makes me wonder if there was even a chance to warn anyone b/c of the amount of people and traffic that were seemingly not in any more of a hurry than normal. That seemed to change rather quickly with the first good lightning strike/thunder clap, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh just a bit knowing I would most likely have the same reaction! Hearing the glass break and seeing the debris was amazing for the location; it seemed to vanish as fast as it started too.
suswecawin I don't think they have tornado sirens in N.Y.
it was a microburst
it was indeed a tornado. it was confirmed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Brooklyn/Queens_tornadoes
@ZionHillCalling F5 is the highest rating. Can't call someone out when you don't know what you're talkin about.
Nothing stops NY from moving. Casually walking a dog in a tornado...lolol.
Will those planes did
Nothing stops New York from moving?? Yeah. I recall about 20 years ago, two jumbo jets stopped New York dead in its tracks.
Apogee Well what he was saying was also a joke, obviously you can’t take a joke
Apogee well you’re delusional
Apogee kinda
sounded like you were being sarcastic, but Okay my bad
3:07 Aw yes...nothing like going on a walk with my dog through a beautiful tornado!
Well that escalated quick.
Warren Moses haha right
Warren Moses tornadoes tend to be that way.
Whatever it was, NYer's still carry on with their travels. I like the guy walking the dog.
i hope that dog was safe in the end
+divisioneight I like the guy riding a bike with his kid on the back. Ahhh Brooklyn.
There's a subway entrance right there on the corner on the left of the screen. He was probably standing at the bottom of the stairwell during the height of this thing.
Ain't nobody got time for a tornado.
Lindsay Grove lol we sure dont. 😂
18.30 = quiet
18.35 = apocalypse
18.40 = quiet.
... I love USA.
@Jjoonn He's probably saying that this is the usual weather pattern that takes place within parts of the USA like this.
Thunder and Lightning, with wind-driven rain for about 2 minutes...
No tornado. .
I think the tall buildings caused rotating winds
@@Aidancordell oftentimes, they do, and people mistakenly believe it's a 🌪️ tornado 🌪️
@@Aidancordell exactly....
I’m sorry, what makes it classify as a tornado again?
being from a place in which we barely get rain or strong winds, watching this was terrifying, tornado or not.
I like the guy trying to J-walk through traffic during a tornado

TORNADO. It was a confirmed tornado by the NWS.
But not on this vid
Man to storm: I'M WALKING HERE
+Nathan Ventura Ahm wokkin' heah!
In Nebraska we call this rain.
+Bob Kerbs No doubt, that is just a nice storm blowing in down here
soonernut Yep. Just a lil rain.
+Bob Kerbs In Omaha, you all bugged out about a 4 minute tornado so...
Same here in Michigan. Apparently this was an EF 0 tornado...so basically not a tornado
People there OMG STUPID CRAZY YOU LUCKY TO BE ALIVE
Beautiful time for a stroll....or even a ride on the bike. Priceless ❤️

Thats Funny
Wow Candy Mandy
The irony is that I lived in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area for a few years and even though it's in the dead center of the Tornado Alley, have never seen a tornado before. Instead, I happened to live in Queens, NYC when this twister came along in 9/16/10. I still kind of remember this like yesterday!
+Wheatley GLADOS Sorry, but Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri have your highest number of Tornados. They are more of what I would call Tornado Alley
+CarlsCustomCreations Statistically there are more tornadoes in Texas than other states simply because of its vast size, and it falls in the southern central areas of the Tornado Alley. However, rarely do tornadoes hit major cities or towns because most of Texas is pretty rural and sparse in population density. We did have plenty of supercell thunderstorms that produced hail and strong winds and tornado watch was in progress, but no tornado touched down. The last tornado we received in FT Worth was in March 2000, but that was before I was even there lol
I love in Queens, NY too
still haven't seen one then
They don't hit in Dallas county.... Try Collins Denton Johnson or tarrant
New Yorkers were just so excited the traffic was lightening up.
1:24 the Tornado was handled by Ms Frizzle and her magic school bus
😂😂
Yeah, and she was driving the short bus that day too, LoL!
That thunder clap beginning at 1:09 went BOOYAH!!!!! :) RIP Mr. Stuart Scott and thanks for the rightfully descriptive word to that unmistakable sound!
DarlingNikki2 if I ever hear that kind of thunder I’ll shit myself lol
Looks more a microburst than a tornado.
it was tornadoes.
WhiteX6 no it was not a tornado
tohung wong it was, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Brooklyn/Queens_tornadoes
It was an F0 tornado the meteorologist called it as it was wrapped in rain. tons of trees destroyed in the huge park across from me.
Microburst.
A day I won’t forget. I was in nearby Greenwood cemetery putting flowers down at the family grave site when this storm came out of no where. Made it back to the car but I honestly thought I wouldn’t ever make it out of the cemetery alive; no exaggeration but for about 3 minutes it seemed as though the world was coming to an end ... even more scary than this video when you’re alone in a cemetery.
This must've been an EF0 tornado.
Power company in that town has their shit together!
The power lines in NYC are underground. It is rare for us to have power outages during storms for that reason.
The person on the bike made me think “there’s Dorothy.” 😅
So when does the tornado show up? Saw some gusty winds. 🤔
That was the tornado. You don't need a funnel cloud to be a tornado.
@@briansivley2001 True, a fully condensated funnel isn't necessary, but that's RFD.
You must be from Brooklyn.
when the windows were shattering, you could see a defined circulation within the rainbands
SuperStorm 511 exactly, dont know what this guy’s talking about
To everyone waiting for the tornado, skip to 1:20.
There's certainly a lot of rain rotation, but that might just be a gustnado at worst.
Gustnado, lol
I'm glad it knocked down that weird looking mannequin/picture in the right window
I was like,lol,look at the mannequin..then the Strom can and I was all like where'd it go!...then I saw it on the sidewalk...and was like I wonder if it will blow away..
I live in this exact apartment now- this is so bizarre for me to watch. Thanks for posting!
Yeah ok
Cap
must feel really weird lol
I have watched this a number of times, and it never fails to astounding me! 😳
Damn that big window on the corner got busted out
1:39
Animesh Rose ...
For anyone who is dubious: this was a confirmed EF0 contained within a microburst (which is why most of the video just looks like a microburst). The vertical central rotation is visible beginning around 1:30. If you look at the crosswalk light, you should be able to see the tornado :)
We get dust devil's in Texas that have more wind than this.
i saw it. but why weren't their debrees everywhere? or cars being picked up?
Hahah New Yorkers just casually walking through the mayhem.
If this happened up here in Boston, people would be at their windows screaming “Holy shit! Look, Bobby! It’s a fahkin twista! Call the aquarium! It’s a fahkin baby twista!”
the Boston accent had me-
New Yorkers be like... eh, just a bit o wind and rain 🤷🏽♀️
Well it is. There was no tornado
@@cesarcueto1995 Except for the fact that there was.
@@minutemansam1214 lol where? Give me a timestamp
A city that never sleeps, what a down pour!!!!!! Born and raised in Fort Green, in the 60's, 70's, 80's, wading through rain, sleet and snow, faning during many steaming summers, W/O A.C!!! My dad use to say, if you can make it in NY, you can make it everywhere else!!!!!!! I've lived in the hurricane Capitol, FL, for the last 30 yrs, I've never had a desire to return!!! Nonetheless, NY will remain indelibly etched in my heart with fond memories of a vibrant, wonderful place!!!
For anyone who says that this wasn't a tornado, here is the definition: A rotating column of air ranging in width from a few yards to more than a mile and whirling at destructively high speeds, usually accompanied by a funnel-shaped downward extension of a cumulonimbus cloud. This was a rotating column of air containing several vortexes whirling at destructively high speeds.

Would you look at that! An EF0 and an EF1 CONFIRMED by NOAA on 9/16/10 in Brooklyn and in Queens, New York.
Please don't use hate speech in the comments for my tornado video, thank you.

Cuz it wasnt a tornado. Was a microburst

Yeah
She sneezed again
She was just getting revenge on Professor Xavier during his golf match with buddies...
wow, amazing video! I live in park slope and I left one of those twin window fans turned on that day when I left the house. When I came home after the storm, my room was plastered with little mud dots everywhere, and the motors of the fan were burnt. It was later that night that it was confirmed that was actually a tornado. Amazing that you caught it on video!
I was driving a few blocks over from this tornado when it hit I was 8 years old on a roadtrip with my parents lmao
i remember them telling me a tornado was happening nearby and it freaked me out at the time

Heck! Where I live the power goes out after the storm.
Wow, amazing footage. You can really see the swirling winds in this -- I am glad you are okay. It's also such an NYC moment -- people still obeying traffic signals, and 1 jaywalker just trying to get underground!
Tornado in NY is very rare can't believe this video is 10 years old.. 🌪️🌩️🌩️
1:10 Hearing all the thunder during the video I thought Slayer was going to launch into 'Reign in Blood.'
Wow! In a case like this, best place to duck into, if close by, is a subway station entrance. There are here, one on each corner of the intersection.
Keep an eye on the shop across the street when you hear glass breaking...
MrThomaschannel yeah I thought I saw stuff flying in there
You are right
amazing how quick it went from being super dark to light
this is one of my favourite videos on TH-cam!
Rare video of tornado in the city! Amazing footage loved it! Couldn't imagine how scary this would have been for those people stuck in that.
Light turned green....thats all it needed
I come back to this video sometimes. Still love it
I don’t see how people in the comments say “that’s not a tornado!”.
It was definitely a swirl of wind! And created damage! Tornadoes can briefly spin-up on storm fronts.
That's not a technical tornado though. A tornado is formed through a supercell. A mezocyclone etc
Waterspouts, dirtdevils and swirls of wind technically aren't cyclones lol
Not completely accurate. Tornadoes can briefly spin-up on storm fronts!
Tornadoes are not completely exclusive to Super-cells!
Outer bands of a hurricane can have tornadoes. Those are not super-cells or mesocyclones.
Nature can be beautiful and frightening at the same time. Love it.
THE BEST VIDEO REGARDING STORMS AND SHIT HANDS DOWN !! THE ANGLE THE VIEW THE QUALITY THE RAGING RAIN STORM ....YET SO VIVID

Well, that escalated quickly. Watched again to see the window get busted out. Wow, amazing capture. Whomever shot this video I can say I would be filming like this too. I’m totally fascinated with NYC. Great job. (Not to mention this was on my Birthday)
Meanwhile: Hey Frankie you wanna go jog? It’s nice outside
Dang, I thought it was night time until the storm let up at the end!
ikr
legend says the traffic light is still shaking
Watching this from the safety of being indoors is so soothing for me
I like how quickly it goes back to normal
Beautiful neighborhood! Great job filming, too.
Don't hear any sirens wailing right before it hit. Were people warned?
Jill Jones Tornadoes aren't exactly a common occurrence in NYC so there really isn't a reason to install them. They'd almost never be used
Zachary Morin they aren't a common thing here in Lexington either but we still have tornado sirens. Its for safety
There should be Air Raid / Civil Defense sirens that can be used for ANY emergency in every City no matter where in the Country whether is in Tornadosville Kansas, 20 feet of Snow Maine, or Smogsville New York
Outstanding weather video. Thanks.
That's a tornado? I bet Kansans laughed
Yep. I did. In Kansas the only reason people wouldn't go out in that is because they dont feel like getting wet lol.
Yup. I'm from Kansas, and this is NOT a tornado. This is a small microburst at best. This really is laughable...
skadoocher123 you realize those are still dangerous conditions though, right? Going out in anything classified as a tornado doesn’t mean you’re tough lol it means you’re not bright
I know right, that's just a normal thunder storm in Maryland lol. It definitely wasn't a tornado. First hint was no hail.
@@erasethepavement if you dont live where these happen regularly, please dont question like you know what you are talking about. In Kansas, for 6 months out of the year this is possible any minute of the day and can last for hours on end. This was nothing but a heavy down pour with some moderate wind. This video shows 5 minutes of what I literally today spent 7 hours dealing with straight. This is nothing. Possibility is not enough for people who live with these conditions our entire life. I am betting you are not even out of school yet. Dont let your ignorance set you up for failure. Its not toughness, it is experiance and knowledge that guide people out here. Where are you from? It would seem to me that you cant possibly be from anywhere that experiances actual weather.
Nice to have seen a few minutes of NY. Thanks
wasn't a tornado it was a micro burst , nice catch

New Yorkers don't notice or care about anything or anyone except themselves.
What a BEAUTIFUL video.
🌪: “Imma destroy the big Apple today!”
New Yorkers: “Hold my bus ticket!”
This is about as much a "ny tornado" as a "tx blizzard"...
That would be kinda scary if there was a blizzard in Texas. I think I once saw a show (a fictional one) where there was a blizzard in Texas in the middle of summer. If that happened, clearly we are screwed.
The TX Panhandle around Amarillo has a blizzard warning or two every winter. Even as far south as San Antonio they once got a foot of snow overnight.,
Scott Matthews, it's incredibly irritating when people only think of the Houston heat when it comes to Texas. Texas is huge and the climate is much more different in the panhandle.
That dummy in the clothing store window across the street serves a good lesson as to why you shouldn't stand next to windows during a tornado. Imagine if that had been a person - yyeeouch!
tarkushead: yep and she was also lighter than a person which makes a difference. But still yes, good point. Glass can cut you up pretty good when under influence of wind.
Reading these comments and I’m sure these people had no idea but look how quickly life goes back to normal afterwards.
I remember this day so well. I was on the B52 bus in Brooklyn on my way home from work when it hit. I knew something was unusual about the whether when I walk out of the building of my place of employment. It was muggy, cloudy & the sky had a weird light green tint. While on the bus, it got very dark outside and then it hit. You can hear branches hitting the bus as they fell off the trees, the bus driver had to slow down the speed of the bus. It came and went so quickly and then the sun came out. The damage was crazy! Huge trees were all over the road on Gates Ave in Bedstuy, BK. The bus driver had to reroute the bus. It was scary but amazing at the same time.
Was it a confirmed tornado cause it looks like a microburst storm to me.
