The winds are howling in a very unusual way and the lightning/thunder is abnormally intense. I don't see any official news reports about the weather that mention the current storm, but several people who I don't know have reported a tornado on Twitter. It sounds possibly close enough to tear apart my house.

Hail has been confirmed.

I was in mid long island just a few minutes ago. It was a scary thunderstorm with lots of rain. That died down when I got to Queens.
I always miss the tornados when they do happen..I'm usually in the island when it does. Hope it's not a tornado for your sake.

The storm seems to have passed my area. I'm still not sure if there was a tornado, but it has been confirmed to be the most intense hailstorm ever in NYC in my lifetime.I always miss the tornados when they do happen..I'm usually in the island when it does. Hope it's not a tornado for your sake.

That's intense. I've only ever experienced such intense weather when I lived in Texas. Hail the size of tennis balls. Once when I was traveling through Oklahoma, we were close to potentially tornado-spawning clouds, but I was too young to feel any sense of danger.

Currently, the thunder is crazy loud here. I will like sleeping to this rain. It's peaceful.
(Rain and thunder intense like in LI an hour and a half ago)

I usually like storms, but this was the type that I can't enjoy, because it seemed too probable that my house might fly away.(Rain and thunder intense like in LI an hour and a half ago)

The storm went away earlier, but I hear thunder again.

It was exceptionally intense. I would not be surprised if I could hear it from your area.
