A rare tornado that started as a waterspout came ashore in Atlantic Beach, New York, on Thursday, tearing through cabanas at the Sun and Surf Beach Club. One person suffered a minor injury in the twister — the first tornado in Nassau County since 2021. It was one of two tornadoes to hit New York state Thursday, with both starting as waterspouts.
