Although the condition were less than ideal, you can’t deny the beauty of the Hudson from Grand Street in Croton on Hudson. We take this beauty for granted.

Tornado of 2006-Central Westchester

J. Philip Faranda — Sat, 02 May 2009 11:24:37 +0000

In the Summer of 2006, a very rare tornado touched down in Central Westchester, hitting parts of the Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills, not far from my home. The only damage was to a heavily wooded area. The power of the twister must have been awesome. Seeing the aftermath in person left me speechless. It was as if Godzilla had ravaged the area; places that were previously solidly green were now open sky.

I recall another one hit the same day in nearby Hawthorne, inflicting similar damage to trees along Route 9A.

Cornwall, NY: Above the Clouds

J. Philip Faranda — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:41:21 +0000

This was taken from Route 9W northbound near Cornwall, New York. The view eastward is typically the Hudson River, and you can make it out just under the clouds. For some reason the cloud was very low that day, creating a remarkable visual effect. This was taken in late September, 2006.
