New York City Tornado

There was a possible tornado in New York City the other day.  The storm it came from was powerful enough that tornado warnings were issued.

New York City is not the place people first think about for a tornado.  That is reserved for places like the plains of Texas or Oklahoma first and foremost.  Other areas that get tornadoes are throughout the Midwest and South.  The news shows and The Weather Channel are frequently showing stories of tornado damage and even occasionally have videos of actual tornadoes destroying garages and homes and businesses.  In areas that have a lot of tornadoes, it is frequently more than just a damaged garage door.  If it is only a garage door that has been damaged, it may well not be a tornado causing the damage, although sever thunderstorms can cause large amounts of damage even without the tornado accompanying the storm.

Depending on where in New York City a tornado might touch down, there may well not be any garage doors damaged by a tornado.  A tornado that might touch down on the island of Manhattan could cause tremendous amounts of damage but damage few standard garage doors.  But a tornado touching down somewhere like Queens or Staten Island might not cause as much damage but may well damage a few garage doors.

Weather itself can cause all sorts of damage to garage doors all over the country.  Some areas the damage might be caused by the tornadoes while other areas the damage might be caused by snow or hurricanes or wind or sleet and ice.  Because of the different weather conditions all over the country, the garage door needs are different all over the country.  The garage door style used in California is probably not something that would be used in New York City or Boston or Philadelphia.  If for no other reason than most people would want their garage door to match the architectural style of the rest of the area they are living in.  The garage doors in places like Minneapolis of Fargo are probably not going to look the same as the garage doors in places like Phoenix or San Diego.  Honolulu has different styles than Anchorage.  But the differences are really just cosmetic as the basics for the garage door are going to be the same no matter where in the country the garage is located.
