Meteorologists at PIX11 News say that the powerful storm on Tuesday brought heavy rain and strong winds to the tri-state area. From Brooklyn to Midtown Manhattan and parts of Suffolk County on Long Island, wind speeds hit 63 mph. Their highest points were 45 mph in Brooklyn and 55 mph in Midtown Manhattan.
The video was met with a reaction from a spokesperson for JDS Development Group, the company that manages the Brooklyn Tower. “The building, like all tall buildings, is meant to move, and it did exactly what it was designed to do on a windy day,” a JDS spokesperson said.
