NEW YORK (CNN) -- A tornado struck about 20 miles north of New York City during rush hour Wednesday, causing heavy damage to a Westchester County store, the National Weather Service and a store spokesman said.

No one was seriously injured when the twister skipped along a highway and hit a California Closets store in Hawthorne, New York. A supervisor for the company said employees and shoppers got out of the building before the roof collapsed. Two people suffered minor injuries, the supervisor said.
Nearby, guests huddled in the lobby of a Comfort Inn as the tornado passed, causing minor damage to the building, a hotel employee said.
Mount Pleasant police said wind damage forced the closing of Saw Mill Parkway just as the afternoon rush hour was beginning.
Police also responded to reports of flash flooding, and trees and power lines knocked down by the high winds, according to a Westchester County spokeswoman.
The county opened its emergency operations center in response, she said.
Though rare, tornadoes have struck in or near the five boroughs of New York City. Most recently, a tornado touched down on the New York City borough of Staten Island on October 27, 2003, according to the New York City Office of Emergency Management. It uprooted trees and caused minor property damage. There were no injuries.

Over two feet now!















The plow has not started all day since the first pass I did on the driveway and now it is hopelessly stuck!

Intense winter low pressure system















This satellite/radar composite shows the winter storm currently impacting the CO front range, near perfect low placement and deep moisture advection into the area is amounting to up to 3 feet of snow out of this system!

18" of snow at our house and still falling!












Coming down strong

2 - 3 feet of snow expected!

Cold Core in KS on Monday Nov 27th?


The GFS is showing a potential for a cold core setup on Monday Nov 27th. A tight 989Mb surface low is progged to be on the CO/KS border under a broad upper level trough over the four corners area. The SPC's 4-8 day outlook is also calling for severe weather starting this day and the next. I may have to extend my Thanksgiving break by a day and be in place to chase this event as a last chance at severe in 2006!

This comes exactly one year to the date that Darin Brunin, Dick McGowan and Scott Currens caught cold core tornadoes in central KS.

Drink holder camera mount

I was looking for a place to mount my camera for a long time now and after looking at Brian Morganti's setup I decided I would do the same thing since I already have the truck bed bar, bogen tripod head and clamp. While checking dimensions I noted that the cup holder that slides out of the dash is just about in the right spot. Well, why not make the cup holder be the clamp position? I used a 1" length of dowel, two hose clamps and a cabinet door support and transformed my cup holder into an in-car camera mount. I will be testing it tonight to see if it's strong enough to hold my Sony HDR-FX1 video camera - but so far it seems pretty good. I may add an extra brace on the drivers side to stiffen it up.
