It's easy to enjoy bad weather when we rarely leave our houses, and, boy howdy has it been a fun spectacle to watch today. Sunny one minute; pouring the next. Thunder. Hail. Lots of wind. And now this: Apparently a tornado touched down in Newark Bay, which is just north of Staten Island and across Bayonne from New York Harbor. Tornadoes in New York? Awesome. Maybe there'll be a big twister, and we'll get taken away, and, finally, we'll have a chance to meet Judy Garland and, even better, get a heart.
