Tornado-Warned Storm Over Brooklyn Time Lapse

Posted DateThursday, September 16, 2010 at 09:46PM by AuthorJohn Huntington |

 

We were wrapping up today's work on the Gravesend Inn when the storm hit.  I got a tornado warning text for King's county (Brooklyn) and ran out to see what was up.  All I had with my was my phone camera with which I got this.  Our building is being renovated and we have no windows at all right now, so this is the best I could get.  When the rain arrived I ran back to our shop door and caught this.  We did see some 3/4" hail (which I reported on spotter network) but my phone camera was all wet and I couldn't get the touch screen set right to take a photo.

Before I left home, I had set up my Nikon D90 my AEO Lightning Strike II in case there was any good lightning. The unit freaked out and shot over 1000 frames, and while I didn't get a single decent lightning bolt, I did get this lumpy time lapse:

My rooftop weather station recorded a 39MPH wind gust at 5:34pm.

Wow you can really see that front just come and wipe out Brooklyn! We were in the second floor of the Atlantic terminal and watched it hit from the south facing windows!!!
