A fast-moving storm blew across Long Island Saturday afternoon, triggering a tornado warning, and hitting some areas with hail.
The storm interrupted a Walt Whitman football playoff game, sending teams, spectators and officials rushing off the field the moment lightning was detected. On social media, a number of people reported that they had dashed to their basements.
Residents were invited to submit reports of weather damage here.
