Tornado. On Long Island in November!

To say this is odd would be an understatement. Very narrow path.

Dang!

Narrow indeed. Cherokee flipped, glider one row back apparently unharmed.

Several years ago we had a microburst event happen in our area.. several wind “streams” fell in an area about 5 mile diameter… you could see grass laid down flat looking like a 10 foot wide path where the winds blew it down at speeds up to 120MPH… we had half a dozen of these wind evens at our airstrip.. one of them landed right between two rows of airplanes… picked up a Cessna 150 and tossed it into the top of a tree.. another 150 was flipped on its back in its tie downs.. a Cessna 172 was turned around in its tie down 180 degrees and bent a wing tip… those airplanes were all tied down to 4 foot by 4 foot by 6 inch thick concrete blocks…. The airplanes that were behind those were not tied down to blocks and were unharmed… there was a Cessna 182 cowling nearby sitting on the ground that did not move..

We had a 140 foot three bay hanger extension with open fronts (no doors) that was picked up and deposited in our neighbors field… the original 40 foot hanger with a door was left in place… wound up building our 70X90 “carousel” hanger to replace that…

Mother Nature can do weird things…
