Hit-And-Run Storm Pounds Tri-State Area

Rare Tornado Warning Issued For Parts Of NYC

NEW YORK (CBS) ― The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for New York City Friday evening but the storm appeared to pass without generating a twister.

The severe thunderstorm's heavy rains, hail and lightning stalled commuter trains and flooded parkways during the evening rush hour.

Metro-North suspended service on its Harlem and Hudson lines for just under an hour, due to high water in some areas and trees on the tracks. Service on both lines resumed at about 7 p.m. Friday, with residual delays of 30 minutes on the Hudson and New Haven lines and 45 minutes on the Harlem line.

Weather-related signal problems on the LIRR's Port Washington branch resulted in 30 minute delays in both directions.
