Tornado Hangover - Brooklyn

Last night I decided it would be a great idea to just run to the grocery store and do some shopping. I even convinced Rob to join me-although it did look like it was going to ran. On our way back from the store we apparently were caught in a freak tornado that caused chaos throughout the city. A video is floating around showing at green sky and what looks to be a wall of clouds moving through Brooklyn; Well that is were Rob and I were, right in that wall of clouds.
We were approaching forth when the rain started coming down. I noticed the green sky instantly, but thought nothing of it, cause it's New York, not Texas. I put up my umbrella and for a moment Rob and I walk under sprinkles of rain. Then the intersection in front of us 'literally' disappeared and we were engulf in buckets of water. Both of us instantly looked like we had jumped in a lake, but not even a lake could made us so wet so quickly. In a lake it takes spit second for cloths for absorb the water, not the same with wind and water at 80 miles an hour. We ran for cover in the Lyceum watching the water and wind that seemed to consume everything.
All in all pretty lucky.
Here's a bit of the neighborhood damage, although city workers have been up all night cleaning because today it is like any other day in New York: Coffee, Subway, Work...
