Video: Two tornadoes hit New York damaging property "I was showing videos of tornadoes to my 4-year-old on my phone, and two minutes later, it hit," said Breezy Point neighborhood resident Peter Maloney. Just like they always say, it sounded like a train. A spokesman for the New York Fire Department said there were reports of damage throughout the city. He said that in the borough of Brooklyn trees had been uprooted, power lines were down and a section of a roof of a house had been taken off. The severe weather forced the US Open tennis women's singles final at Flushing Meadows to be delayed from Saturday evening until Sunday, the US Tennis Association said. Andy Murray battled the weather to get through to the final but he said it was "some of the toughest conditions I have ever played in."
