Cars were crushed by trees -- even sidewalks were ripped up. Meteorologists say the tornado packed winds of around 135 miles an hour. It was enough to snap hundred-year-old trees in half. Roofs were torn from row houses.
The Red Cross says at least 30 families took shelter in an elementary school in The Bay Ridge area.
