My Italian traveling partner and friend, Scott-- called me tonight to tell me Philadelphia is currently under a Tornado watch. Reminds me of a story I heard last month: A California Closets warehouse was nearly destroyed when it was struck by a tornado July 12. The twister, reportedly a first for Westchester County, tore down the company's windows, walls and an entire floor. Tara Kelly was on the second floor of the building interviewing for a new job when the tornado came charging through.
"The sky just got very dark and then all of a sudden we just heard this really loud bang and everybody just screamed and panicked and the whole staircase collapsed and the lights went out,” Kelly said.
No one was seriously injured according to WCBS-TV in New York.
