New Facts: Nassau County Reports Tornado Damage
Severe winds hit the Sun and Surf Beach Club in Atlantic Beach at 7:12 p.m., ripping apart rows of one-story cabanas. Damage counts ranged from about 30 to about 50 units damaged or destroyed. A club employee sustained a minor head injury and declined treatment. No other injuries.
Search teams swept the debris and found no one trapped. Thirteen fire departments and about 200 firefighters responded, with a Level 2 county technical rescue activation, and the scene was stabilized within an hour. The Town of Hempstead Building Department began assessing damage, and Sun and Surf and the nearby Silver Point Beach Club closed until further notice.
A waterspout formed offshore and came ashore at Atlantic Beach around the time of the damage, and another brief waterspout came ashore in the eastern Rockaways. Damage surveys were scheduled for Friday to confirm whether a tornado touched down. Flooding along Nassau’s South Shore stranded motorists and prompted water rescues.
