Definitely the work of Bushco's Weather Machine. Has anyone seen VP Cheney recently? Coincidence?

[Huh]

Definitely had Hail in Melville. Heard it but thought, in August??? nahhhhh. Ice age is coming people.

I work at the Sagamore Yacht Club, just next door to Oyster Bay Marine Center, this is the second week of the weirdest weather we've ever seen in 10 years of boating !

Last week we had two thunderstorms collide into eachother, you can see the pictures here : http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-55477

Huh, hail has nothing to do with colder temperatures. It's the violent winds up in the sky that thrust the rain higher, where it freezes and falls.

That same storm apparently set a house on fire too, and there's a storm going through southern CT that created a tornado.

Oh yea, I remember you. Gone from LI and Glad. You still are a Jerk

Too bad a giant vacuum can't come down from the heavens and suck up all the minorities on LI. Leaving the place clean and safe like it used to be before we were blessed by the scumbag federal government with equality, diversity and multiracialism.

[where are the reporters]

why doesnt the writer of this article tell how water spouts are created? go get a science background guy and ask him this for the article. this is why newspapers will wither away. reporters=lazy

[Chris L]

This is why we need OBAMA. He will stop big oil and global warming that causes these things!

[wow]

I watched the video posted here on Newsday about the thunderstorm. The way those leaves on those trees swayed was truely frightening. The way that those raindrops pitter pattered on the pavement was horrifying. Those microscopic hail balls must of reeked havoc on the local ant population. Stay safe everyone and take cover.... The lightning was pretty cool...
