The storm that churned through New York City spawned two destructive tornadoes and a fierce macroburst with wind speeds up to 125 mph that barreled across a large swath of Brooklyn and Queens, authorities said Friday uggs 2010. The storm on Thursday evening toppled trees, peeled away roofs and killed a woman in a car who had just swapped seats with her husband. The fury of wind and rain that pummeled the area was New York City's ninth and 10th tornadoes since 1950, the National Weather Service said Friday night. Kyle Struckmann, a meteorologist with the agency, said it was amazing that only one person died. "It's practically a miracle considering the population that was affected by this," he said. One of the tornadoes struck Brooklyn at 5:33 p.m. Thursday, with winds up to 80 mph, and carved its way northeast from the Park Slope section, Struckmann said. The second one hit Queens at 5:42 p.m., with winds up to 100 mph, traveling 4 miles from the Flushing section to a mile north of Bayside. It was that second twister that snapped trees and scattered them like bowling pins, downing power lines and crushing vehicles, including a car in Queens where Aline Levakis was killed, according to the National Weather Service. She was in the parked car with her husband, Billy Levakis. The couple, from Pennsylvania, had just switched seats in the car, said a former business partner, Peter Markos. Billy Levakis survived. It was the macroburst that packed the biggest punch with its winds up to 125 mph, said Brian Ciemnecki, a National Weather Service meteorologist. Stretching 8 miles long and 5 miles wide, the macroburst started in the Middle Village section of Queens and ended in Forest Hills. A macroburst is an intense gust of wind that pours down from a storm. "The large majority of damage was associated with the macroburst," Ciemnecki said. Officials initially had reported that a microburst hit the city but later corrected that to say it was a macroburst, because it was more than 2 1/2-miles long. Strong winds caused storm damage on Staten Island, authorities said. UGG Classic Tall Bomber Jacket-5804 The storm was part of a line that rippled across much of the Northeast before completing its run in New York City during the Thursday evening rush hour in a matter of minutes. It caught nearly everyone off guard, including commuters heading home and parents picking up children from after-school activities. "There are lots of stories of people who came very close to being hit by a big tree and killed, but fortunately there was only one," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday. "And that one was really tragic." Investigators on Friday had mapped out the width and intensity of the storm to determine whether a tornado touched down, Struckmann said. The probe included surveying the aftermath by helicopter. Stunned residents sifted through the debris Friday, and utility crews worked to restore power in blacked-out neighborhoods. The number of customers without power peaked at 37,000, but that gradually improved Friday. About 14,000 customers, mostly in Queens, had no power late Friday. Consolidated Edison said it expects to restore power to most customers by Saturday night, and all service by Sunday night. On a badly hit Brooklyn block of 1890s brownstones in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, the storm swept away parts of rooftops on at least six homes. One four-story rowhouse was so waterlogged that walls were marked Friday with large black Xs — meaning they were to be torn down. In the yard behind, debris lay piled up, including parts of the roof, a crushed gazebo and a whole tree that landed there from two houses away. "Just look at this," said owner Babe Hatcher, standing in the backyard. Pointing at the top floor, he said: "No one can sleep up there; there's no ceiling. You can see the sky." Department of Buildings Commissioner Robert Limandri said the city had received more than 60 reports of buildings with possible structural damage. Officials had ordered residents out of some of the worst-hit homes in Brooklyn. UGG Classic Argyle Knit Boots 5879 The city parks department said it was still assessing the tree damage and cautioned that cleanup would likely go on for days. The parks commissioner warned pedestrians to be careful walking under trees that might have broken branches. All over the city, witnesses compared stories of what they had seen — street signs uprooted, storefront windows blown out, thick tree trunks snapped in half, a parked van lifted a foot into the air. "A huge tree limb, like 25 feet long, flew right up the street, up the hill and stopped in the middle of the air 50 feet up in this intersection and started spinning," said Steve Carlisle, 54. "It was like a poltergeist." "Then all the garbage cans went up in the air and this spinning tree hits one of them like it was a bat on a ball. The can was launched way, way over there," he said, pointing at a building about 120 feet away where a metal garbage can lay flattened. Ruby Ellis was doing dishes when the storm wailed over her house and yanked on the roof. "The wind was holding my ceiling up in the air. It was like a wave; it went up and fell back down," Ellis said. "After the roof went up, then all the rain came down and I had a flood." The line of storms began its work in the west. At least seven tornadoes were confirmed in Ohio, where storms flipped mobile homes, injured several people and damaged part of an Ohio State University campus. A small tornado also touched down in southern New Jersey, knocking over trees and damaging two houses. The last twister to hit New York City was in July, a small one that whirled through the Bronx during a thunderstorm that left thousands without power. In 2007, a tornado with winds as high as 135 mph touched down in Staten Island and Brooklyn, where it damaged homes and sucked the roof off a car dealership UGG Bailey Button Boots.

NEW YORK (AP)—Rafael Nadal won his first U.S. Open title to complete a career Grand Slam, beating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 Monday in a match interrupted by a thunderstorm a day after it was postponed by rain. It is Nadal’s third consecutive major championship and ninth overall. He is the seventh man in tennis history with at least one title from each Grand Slam tournament. “I think for the first time in my career I played a very, very good match in this tournament,” Nadal said. “That’s my feeling. I played my best match in the U.S. Open out there at the most important moment.” Rain pushed the men’s final from Sunday to Monday for the third consecutive year, and play was interrupted for nearly two hours during the second set. When they resumed, Djokovic took that set, the only one Nadal lost in the tournament. But the No. 1-ranked Spaniard quickly took a lead in the third set and never let it go. “He took it away,” Djokovic said, “and he never gave me a chance to go back.” Once seen as Roger Federer’s nemesis, the 24-year-old Nadal now has made his own greatness quite clear. “He has the capabilities already now to become the best player ever,” Djokovic said. “I think he’s playing the best tennis that I’ve ever seen him play on hard courts. He has improved his serve drastically—the speed, the accuracy. And, of course, his baseline (game) is as good as ever.” Nadal stretched his Grand Slam winning streak to 21 matches by adding the U.S. Open to his titles at the French Open in June, then Wimbledon in July. No man had won those three tournaments in the same year since Rod Laver won a true Grand Slam in 1969. Now Nadal heads to the Australian Open in January with a chance to claim a “Rafa Slam” of four consecutive major championships— something that also hasn’t been done since Laver. No. 3 Djokovic, the 2008 Australian Open champion, made Nadal earn it. The Serb played superbly for long stretches, showing off the terrific returning, retrieving and big forehand he used to knock off 16-time Grand Slam champion Federer in Saturday’s semifinals. Coming out of the rain delay with Djokovic serving at 4-4, 30-30 in the second set, both players clearly benefited from a bit of rest. Fresh of body and clear of mind, and with conditions perfect for tennis—calm and cool, the temperature in the 70s—they were superb, engaging in 10-, 15-, 20-stroke points that drew standing ovations and camera flashes from the stands, no matter who hit the winner. And there were winners aplenty at both ends, as well as point-extending defense, shoes squeaking as they scurried around the court. Djokovic claimed the second set by breaking Nadal in the final game, getting back a deep return off a 122 mph serve. Nadal was on his heels—a rare sight, indeed—and slapped a forehand into the net. That gave Djokovic three breaks in a span of 10 service games, against a player who was broken twice the first 92 times he served. It would be the only set lost of 22 played by Nadal in New York this year, as he came oh-so-close to being the first man in a half-century to win this tournament without dropping a set. Nadal was back to his relentless best in the third and fourth, hitting shots so well that Djokovic was moved to applaud on occasion. Nadal broke for 2-1 leads in each of those last two sets, and got to match point by sprinting to reach a drop shot and whipping a forehand that landed right on the baseline. Djokovic hit a forehand wide to end it, and Nadal fell backward onto the court with a shout. He rolled onto his stomach, his chest heaving—finally the champion in New York after losing in the semifinals the last two years. Now he’s the first left-hander to win the U.S. Open since John McEnroe in 1984, and the first Spaniard since Manuel Orantes in 1975. Nadal first burst onto the scene as the so-called King of Clay, compiling a record 81-match winning streak on that surface and starting his French Open career undefeated from 31 matches. His five titles at Roland Garros have earned him accolades as the best clay-court player in history, but now he has become so much more. He won on the grass at Wimbledon in 2007, edging Federer 9-7 in the fifth set as darkness descended, then again this year. He won on the hard courts at the Australian Open in 2009, again beating Federer in five sets. All that was left was the U.S. Open. After complaining of fatigue in 2008, coming off his gold medal from the Beijing Olympics, then dealing with bad knees and a torn abdominal muscle in 2009, he set out to make this trip to Flushing Meadows different. He curtailed his schedule a bit in the spring, to save some wear and tear. He took time off after Wimbledon, getting treatment on his knees and skipping the Davis Cup quarterfinals. And, constantly seeking ways to improve, he says he decided a couple of days before the start of the U.S. Open to tweak the way he holds his racket to serve. That added zip to his serves, now regularly faster than 130 mph (210 kph), which helps him earn some easy points—important given the way he hustles so much and hits so hard, those booming forehands looking like uppercuts. Nadal only had one hiccup all tournament: Perhaps bothered by some pro-Djokovic supporters yelling between serves—earning an admonishment from the chair umpire—Nadal fell behind 3-1 in the second set Monday by making four mistakes, including a double-fault, to get broken at love. When Nadal pushed a backhand long to close a 19-shot point, Djokovic screamed, “Come on!” It was part of a run of 11 consecutive points for Djokovic, who went ahead 4-1. As quickly as Nadal lost his way, however, he gathered himself, his strokes gaining steam, his footwork as good as ever. A violent backhand on a 23-stroke exchange allowed Nadal to break back, and he held to 4-4. While Djokovic would take that set, Nadal eventually would prove too tough, too swift and too good—even at the U.S. Open. “Nadal … is just proving each day, each year, that he’s getting better. That’s what’s so frustrating, a little bit. He’s getting better each time you play him,” Djokovic said. “He’s so mentally strong and dedicated to this sport. He has all the capabilities, everything he needs, in order to be the biggest ever.”

First lady Michelle Obama and former first lady Laura Bush on Saturday led the commemoration for the victims of Flight 93, which crashed and burned as passengers and crew fought hijackers determined to strike the U.S. Capitol on September 11, 2001. Standing on a windswept outlook at the site of the future Flight 93 national memorial, the first ladies remembered the 40 people who took off from Newark International Airport in New Jersey nine years ago, and found themselves in combat with four al Qaeda terrorists. "I come here as an American, filled with a sense of awe at the heroism of my fellow citizens. I come as a wife, a daughter, and a sister, heartbroken at the loss so many of you have endured," Obama said to survivors and family members of those who died. They were part of a throng of dignitaries and locals who came to the annual event. Obama said the people on the plane were from different backgrounds and walks of life. "They all took a different path to that September morning. But in the awful moment when the facts became clear and they were called to make an impossible choice, they all found the same resolve. They agreed to the same bold plan," she said, referring to their decision to attack the hijackers. "They rose as one. They acted as one. Together, they changed history's course. In the days that followed, when we learned about the heroes of Flight 93," we were "proud," "awed" and "inspired" but not surprised because the people on the plane had provided service and sacrificed much in their daily lives, she said. Obama and Bush praised each other in their words. Obama thanked her predecessor for helping the nation heal after the attack, and Bush praised her successor, saying she was pleased "to be here with the first lady who serves this country with such grace." Bush noted that the terrorists who hijacked the plane had other targets in mind, but the spot near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, "was chosen by the passengers of Flight 93, who spared our country from even greater horrors." "As we gather to remember those who were lost and honor their courage, we are deeply grateful," she said. Speaking generally about 9/11, Bush praised the first responders in Shanksville, the rescuers at the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon, and the millions who took part in blood drives, vigils and memorial services. In the wake of the attacks, Americans said prayers in Hebrew, English, and Arabic, and "we found unity in shared grief." Speaking about those who lost loved ones and still feel the wounds of loss, she said "we know the memories of your loved ones have not aged by time." "You inspire us with your grace and strength," she said. She also praised those "who oppose radicalism and terrorism at this very hour in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other places around the world. On this day, Americans have no division." Others who spoke at the ceremony were Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, and Gordon Felt, president of Families of Flight 93. As each name of the 40 victims were read, a bell was rung. A chorus and a string quartet performed and clergymen spoke and prayed.
