A sudden thunderstorm produced tornadoes that battered Atlantic Beach in Long Island, New York, and knocked out power across sections of Delaware’s capital. Heavy rain and powerful winds accompanied the tornadoes, but police say there are no reports of serious injuries in Atlantic Beach.
Power outages in Delaware left residents scrambling, while residents in New York’s coastal neighborhoods were urged to seek shelter. Meteorologists warn that the storm system could bring additional severe weather to the region.
Weather monitors continue to watch for further developments, and local authorities are coordinating emergency response efforts.
