Which NY borough has had the most tornadoes?

And the answer is ...

d) Staten Island

Of all the five boroughs, Staten Island has had the most tornadoes on record, with three only since 1990. The 2007 tornado in Brooklyn, however, was stronger than any of these. Although it initially touched town on Staten Island, it didn't become a powerful force until later in the storm, when Bay Ridge and Sunset Park neighborhoods were particularly affected; the Cyclones, Brooklyn's minor league baseball team, weren't the only tornado in town that day.
