The weather on Monday afternoon was unlike anything seen so far during this summer of severe weather.
Parts of the Tri-State area were pounded from the sky — with wind, lightning and ice.
As intense as the damage was, it was also concentrated along the Queens-Nassau line.
The hail stones shattered car windows, punctured plastic lawn furniture and vinyl siding. It also did a good job of rattling nerves.
Hours after the storm ended, the hail was still melting where it pooled down into the lawn.
Many trees succumbed to the wind. However, it was the ice that had everyone’s attention.

I’m right on the queens nassau border and nothing happened here.
It was more on the north shore that the storm hit.
B”H My home is the outdoors (no one invites me indoors). This storm was unbelievable but the tornado last year was even more so. The big difference was the rainbow that appeared yesterday after the hail stopped. It was very awe inspiring and beautiful.
