The Calm After the Storm

Norwood News' freelancer David Greene snapped this shot yesterday afternoon in Throggs Neck, shortly after the storm subsided. The street, which looks more like a river than a road, is East Tremont Avenue.  St. Raymonds Cemetery is in the background.

National Weather Service: Tornado Hit the Bronx

For the first time in more than 30 years, a tornado hit the Bronx on Sunday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. The Riverdale Press reports that the eye of the storm centered around north Riverdale, but effects were felt throughout the north Bronx, including Williamsbridge Oval Park (pictured above) and Mosholu Parkway (pictured below), where police used a truck to push a tree off the road. If you know of any other downed trees causing problems in your neighborhood, send in photos and we'll follow up with city agencies.
