- Back on Friday, September 3rd, Hurricane Earl came up the East Coast but,thankfully, stayed far enough east out in the Atlantic to avoid any serious impact for us here in the Channel.
- On Thurday. September 16th the city experienced severe thunderstorms and two tornadoes! One tornado touched down in Brooklyn and the other just south of Flushing here in Queens. Broad Channel was spared any serious damage with this storm.
- During the evening of Wednesday, September 22nd we sustained a quick moving severe thunderstorm with heavy rain and wind but again, since it moved quickly through our community, we avoided any serious impact.
- During the afternoon of Tuesday, September 28th, the National Weather Service issued yet another "Tornado Warning" for our area but, thankfully, cancelled it less than an hour later.
- Just yesterday, Friday October 1st, we were lucky once again as the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole moved up the coast and into our area but sparing the community of Broad Channel from anything worse than a long, very wet day.
Within the space of less than 30 days, we have "dodged the bullet" of severe weather (hurricane, tornadoes, tropical storms, etc) on 5 separate occasions!
The good news is that the hurricane season is drawing to a close.
The bad news is that now we have to start worrying about "Nor'Easters" which can take place anytime between October and April when moisture and cold air are plentiful here on the east coast.
