NWS Confirms Atlantic Beach Tornado Destroyed 30+ Cabanas at Beach Club
Officials are reviewing radar and damage reports after a waterspout may have come ashore and destroyed more than 30 cabanas at a Nassau County beach club.
- An EF1 tornado confirmed by the National Weather Service tore through the Sun and Surf Beach Club in Atlantic Beach on Thursday, destroying over 30 cabanas with winds reaching 97 mph.
- Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman declared a state of emergency following the powerful storm system that swept Long Island, bringing flooding, downed trees, and widespread power outages across the region.
- More than 100 people were at the club when the tornado struck, yet no serious injuries were reported; first responders searched the damaged structures twice to ensure no one remained trapped.
- The club remains closed Friday while cleanup efforts continue and officials conduct structural inspections of all damaged cabanas to determine whether any can safely reopen this summer.
- This marks the first confirmed tornado in Nassau County since 2021, and Rep. Laura Gillen said the event serves as "a stark reminder" for the need to prepare for extreme weather.
