stormwarn Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I remember this. I measured 2.06" for that day, much of it falling within an hours time. It was the start of a horrid heat wave, 9 days in 90+ degrees. I reached 97F on the 25th and again on the 27th of that year. Thanks for sharing.

REDMK6GLI Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Our severe weather outbreaks on LI are so sparse now we have to dig into the archives to see when the last time it happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I don't remember this event as it looks like the storms split the region. Based on the radar in the grainy video it looks like the cell came down through NE NJ and blew up over LI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I wonder if this is the same storm system where I experienced my first time ever being under a tornado warning. I remember watching the weather channel and being scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 This site is pretty cool...not sure how accurate it is but you put in any date and it shows you where tornadoes occurred, paths etc. http://www.tornadohistoryproject.com/tornado/1998/9/7/map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Our severe weather outbreaks on LI are so sparse now we have to dig into the archives to see when the last time it happened We had severe weather with the last major rain event last week. There was a microburst and 60+ mph wind just east of my town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user13 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Does anyone remember a storm that occurred on a very windy summer day in the 90s? (This could have been it) I remember a tent my parents had literally flying away earlier in the day, then later on, clouds raced across the sky faster than anything I have ever seen. (I remember it going from sunny to a pitch black sky in a minute or two, I think the clouds went from south to north) I also remember the radio weather report saying there could be gusts up to 100 mp/h I always wanted to know the date of this.

Stormlover74 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Here's a link to the 7/18/97 event http://www.angelfire.com/pa/pawx/071897/071897.html Damage in NJ--Bergen, Union, Essex, and Hudson counties: Lightning struck a house in Hillsdale, setting it on fire. Severe thunderstorm winds were responsible for two deaths and 2 injuries in these areas. A 20 year-old male parking attendant at the Ridgefield Country Club in Paramus was struck and killed by a flying tree branch. The severe thunderstorm responsible for this death picked up a lot of other debris and sent it flying through the air. Remember, NEVER STAY OUTSIDE DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM!! In Mahwah, a person was killed by a tree that fell during a severe thunderstorm, and in Newark, 2 people were injured by a falling tree, where a 59 mph thunderstorm gust was recorded. Trees and branches were downed at several other areas in northeast New Jersey, including in Jersey City. Some of these trees fell onto and through houses and vehicles. Here are some peak wind gusts recorded in Union county: Kenilworth - 60 mph Mountainside - 66 mph Garwood - 72 mph Roselle - 70 mph Damage on Long Island, NY--Severe thunderstorms moved through the area twice; in the early afternoon, and in the evening. In Brooklyn, a circus tent collapsed, resulting in three injuries. A few trees were down by the downburst winds, and one fell on a woman, injuring her. She suffered cuts, bruises, and a broken leg. Also, lightning struck two-story building, resulting in a significant fire, which killed 1 person and injured two. Pea size hail accompianied this thunderstorm in Brooklyn too. In Queens, 2 male workers were thrown off of a scaffolding and killed by thunderstorm winds in Sunnyside. As the scaffolding collapsed, the remaining two men on it were injured. Also in Queens, a large tent collapsed, injuring 16 people. It is very fortunate nobody was killed there. Moving onto Nassau county, EOC (Emergency Operations Center) officials reported that certain places in Sea Cliff, Sands Point, and Elmont received significant wind damage from thunderstorms (more detailed info may come soon). In Merrick and Mineola, a 57 mph thunderstorm wind gust was recorded, with tree limbs down and power out. In Baldwin, trees were downed, and large limbs were ripped off others. In Suffolk county, Deer Park was hit the hardest. Apparently, a microburst struck with the passage of the severe thunderstorm. K-Lombardi repair shop and another business had their roofs ripped off. Also, the top layer of a factory plant roof was peeled off, with the debris landing nearly 1,000 feet away, some on cars. The garage door and windows were blown into the factory as well. Between these three businesses, 12 people were injured. Dime size hail also fell in a section of Deer Park, while quarter size hail fell in Babylon. A 60 mph thunderstorm gust was measured at both Brookhaven and Farmingdale, while thunderstorm winds were clocked at 58 mph in Bohemia. At the National Weather Service Office in Upton, a tree snapped in half in their parking lot. It landed 10 feet away from the MIC's (Meteorologist-In-Charge) car!

Stormlover74 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The radar does make it look like it was going to dive SE but then slammed right through the area and across LI with little or no weakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 There was a storm some time between 1988 and 1993 that really helped make me into the weather enthusiast I am today. There was tons of rotation. To me it seemed like everything was rotating and the world was about to end. We got hail and strong winds in Merrick. It sucks that I have no idea what year it even was in.

IntenseBlizzard2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 This was the first funnel cloud I experienced up close. I was 3 at the time. It was pretty scary, but it made me the weather enthusiast I am today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was tons of rotation. To me it seemed like everything was rotating and the world was about to end. We got hail and strong winds in Merrick. It sucks that I have no idea what year it even was in. Was it in the early evening? I recall a very nasty event in late July early August 1992 the night Flushing Meadows park supposedly had a tornado touchdown briefly...that same evening there was a tornado warning for Nassau county and it was mainly the southeast portion of it that was at risk. The sky was as green as I can ever remember seeing it for a severe weather event when I was in Queens around 730-8pm. It was one of only 2 severe events during that 1992 summer, 8/11/92 was the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
