The camera images look sort of wavy, but it seems yesterday a tornado ripped through the park where I used to walk my dog, as well as through other parts of Brooklyn and Queens.

Everybody we know seems to be accounted for, judging from the responses on our Queens synagogue's listserve, despite downed trees and downed power lines on fire in their 'hoods. Queens Boulevard looks like it was jammed last night. Crazy, crazy stuff.
