Driving through down one of the through, but non major roads, I'd say there was a tree down about every 3rd block across at least 1/2 the road - I kept going back and forth between 3 aves to get to where I was going - in one section (the 160s near 32nd Ave for those of you who know it) looking down the side streets, I think I went 10-12 blocks where EVERY block, on BOTH sides was close with mature hardwoods fully blocking the streets

I don't think 8 guys with chainsaws would do the job - in fact, I saw more that that many folks out with them cutting up what they could. Bucking a 75-100 ft tall oak 30 inches in diameter that is laying across the street an through your neighbors roof and front wall of his house isn't a trivial job

Well, the NWS has come out with their data

There were TWO confirmed tornados in NYC - One in Brooklyn, which topped out at an EF0, and the one in NE Queens (the one that got a lot LESS TV footage) which was a EF1, with a 4 mile path, about 100 yds wide (obviously, the distruction is wider than the path) That EF1 came as close as 1/3 mile or so from me
