Last night, the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for the area. While we didn't see one, there were "heavy rains, hail and lightning" enough to mess up commutes on highways and the rails. Metro-North, LIRR, and NJ Transit all faced delays. Additionally, the rain prompted the Nassau County Health Department to close its beaches as a precaution--they may be close tomorrow, too (call and check).

Um, those deathly looking clouds you see? Probably why a tornado warning is in effect. According to WNBC, the warning is for "Manhattan, the Bronx and Eastern Bergen counties until 5:45 p.m. and for Southern Westchester County until 6 p.m."
