Pictures Of New York City Devastation From Twin Tornadoes

The Big Apple was struck by a freak storm with twin tornadoes leaving more than 1,000 trees uprooted and power cuts to hundreds of homes and one person dead.

The US National Weather Service said that the tornadoes had been part of a fast-moving storm, along with a fierce microburst with speeds up to 125mph (200 km/h).

The storm travelled from Staten Island, across New York harbour and then carved a 14-mile (22km) path of destruction from Brooklyn to the Bayside neighbourhood in Queens.
