Tornado in N.Y., Earthquake in L.A.

I heard today that there was a tornada in Brooklyn, N.Y. and an eathquake in L.A.  It seemed odd to me that I heard of the tornado for only 4 seconds on the news, and the earthquake from Jay Leno only.  It seems that the tornado did quite a bit of damage, and they are still cleaning up.  20 buildings were evacuated, and 32 families are without shelter.  The storm that the tornado was spawned from brought over 3 inched of rain in less than an hour.

The L.A. earthquake was a 4.6 magnitude earthquake.  There was no significant damage, but a bridge was closed temporarily, then reopened after sustaining "cosmetic damage".
