Beach club torn apart as rare tornado hits NYC area

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleA waterspout turned tornado in Atlantic Beach, New York, on August 20, 2026 (@docdondon/Instagram/via REUTERS)Heavy rain and severe storms pummeled the Northeast United States on Thursday, bringing destructive winds, intense flooding, and power outages across several states. Two waterspouts came onshore between 6:30 and 7 p.m. in Queens and in Nassau County, the National Weather Service said. One tornado struck Atlantic Beach on Long Island, severely damaging the Sun and Surf Beach Club and prompting a state of emergency declaration in Nassau County, though no serious injuries were reported. Severe flash flooding trapped 69 motorists in Jersey City, New Jersey, requiring first responders to deploy inflatable boats in knee-high water to rescue stranded drivers. Torrential rainfall caused significant highway closures, including shutting down the Long Island Expressway in Queens, New York, in both directions as emergency crews navigated deep floodwaters. In Dover, Delaware, a likely tornado caused widespread property damage, downed power lines, and temporarily cut electricity to more than 1,000 residents before power was mostly restored.
