Default Tornado???? WTF!

ok, so how about this one: a tornado (not a hurricane, which do frequent the north east, but a tornado) hits long island. ok thats kinda weird, but it has happened before. now this tornado also hits the north shore and more specifically my town. even weirder yet, this tornado spawned and went down the very road i live on, taking out several homes, cars and transformers via fallen trees. and the weirdest part is that this tornado lost its steam and died down three houses down from me, causing no damage to our property but only knocking out power and water for 62 hours. weird
