WPCNR ROVING PHOTOGRAPHER. July 14, 2006: A tornado watch had been issued as of 3 P.M Wednesday. As of 3:45, that "Watch" turned into a "Tornado Warning" as a funnel cloud moving about 20 miles per hour made its way out from Tarrytown headed for White Plains along Route 119, according to the National Weather Service. Fortunately, it veered slightly North Northeast touching down near the Saw Mill River Parkway, crossing the Parkway  in a northeasterly direction and making its way strewing havoc across a nursery, knocking down one store building and uprouting trees, tossing cars. These photographs show some of the damage and power of this twister: uprooted trees, tossed as if by a giant angry ape, and shredded forest. In one photograph there is a blue car in the midst of woods. No deaths were reported, though businesses along Stephens Road in Valhalla were without power Thursday, and these photographs were taken after cleanup was well under way.
