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
