Hurricane windows Needed For NYC

Throughout the month of September this year, the five boroughs of New York have been getting repeated tornado warnings.

That’s right. Tornado warnings. In New York City.

Now, it is important to keep in mind that some spots out near the end of Long Island are use to this sort of thing. And by “this sort of thing” I mean heavy winds, rains, and powerful, dangerous winds. In fact, there are some parts of Long Island where you’d be hard-pressed to find a house not equipped with hurricane windows and impact resistant shutters.

But the five boroughs? No, they’re not that use to it. Which is why when a tornado hit both Clinton Hill AND Park Slope on September 16th it was such a shocking situation.

Here’s a short video of the storm:

Global weather phenomenon or not, if this crazy weather continues, I’ll be asking my landlord to install impact resistant windows like the guys on Long Island have.
