Another twister near-missed the Cincinnati neighborhood my parents were living in fifteen years ago or so, and walking around that area, seeing the personal effects of various Ohioans strewn from trees and telephone poles was awesome and disturbing.
I lived in the midwest as a kid. We had tornado warnings that sounded when one was imminent. We all hid in the basement until the all-clear signal.
A real tornado could have snatched that window he was standing behind right out of its frame. With luck, he might not have been sliced to shreds in the process. With more luck he wouldn't have been yanked out of his apartment/condo and dropped 50 feet to the street.
@22 - I wonder if they have tornado sirens, tornado shelters, etc. in NYC.
@23 - oh, stop hating America.
1. It's on the leading edge of the storm, in the rain core. Tornadoes form from the mesocyclone which occurs in the updraft, or rain-free base.
2. There is no obvious rotation to be seen anywhere in either video.
3. Looking at the NEXRAD radar, there are no velocity couplets in the storm of any significance, and none that persist through the scan heights.
4. And for whoever said 4,5, and 11 know more than the National Weather Service, you need to check with the NWS and SPC. They don't have a tornado anywhere near NY nor NJ in their reports.
