After hearing about, and reading articles like this one about how hard Queens got hit by the tornado, I felt so relieved that where I live we only got pretty much a regular storm even though we live very close. I hadn’t realized how much was truly destructed and torn down by them. Things seemed to be extremely dangerous and I’m sure it was a lot of work for people such as policemen and firefighters at the time. I’m sure that I would have been very, very scared if I saw all of this happening around me although it also would have been interesting to watch as well. The people living in this area were most likely not ready for anything like that and had been in shock when so many catastrophes were taking place around where their homes had been for so many years. Towards the end of this story it was mentioned how a 60-foot tree was taken up out of the ground by winds. That must have been an amazing sight and the wind must have been incredibly strong. It is surprising that people still seemed to be using transportation almost as if everything were normal too, until a certain point.
