Getting real up here north of HPN.  Branches down and lights flickered a few times.  Internet went down but all working now.  If I had to guess I’d say gusts to 40. My house is shadowed from the south by a steep hill so can’t tell anything real from the ground in terms of wind speed.  Intermittent rain.  No word of trees down yet locally.  

Tree fell 15 minutes ago and knocked down my next door neighbors chimney, a retaining wall and a stand of evergreens. We are sheltered in the center of the house.  Snapping and cracking sounds but lights still on.

Just got an alert that my power is out at home.

Lost a large black walnut, but it was on the list to chop down due to being hollowed out. 

3.5" of rain and falling. 

Had wicked downpours earlier and some roaring gusts that you definitely felt inside the house.  Things settling down a bit now.

Winds have calmed and starting to switch directions. Center is moving north of us now as my pressure has fallen to 999 mb/29.50 in

Anyone else losing cell service? Power is out, but cell data is usually usable here. Now it’s only working very occasionally.

[PB-99]

Backside winds starting to fire up.

[weathermedic]

Winds not as bad once the sun came out contrary to what others were saying down south 

[eduggs]

Eerily calm right now.  Like 5 kts or less.

Yeah, power went out for a minute and cell service went out at the same time. Power and internet are back but cell service still down.

very quick storm imo. winds started around 10 tapered off by 1:40 west of the city. luckily this limited the extent of the damage could have been way worse.

well if the storm was slow moving by the time it got up north the wind sped would have been much less..

My sister just texted me from Smithtown, NY. Large tree and live power lines down in her backyard.

[Cfa]

Getting some of the highest gusts of the day now.

That seems about right.  I was trying to video but was getting knocked backwards 

Just had a very large tree blow down near me here in SW Suffolk. Had about 30 seconds advanced warning when I could see the sidewalk lifting first. Luckily, it fell between 3 houses without out damaging them.

[snywx]

Close to 4" of rain here w/ occasional gust to 30. Nice little event 

[justinj]

Very very windy here in smithtown at work now. Drive in was a mess going through hauppague and smithtown. Trees down everywhere 

[binbisso]

One large tree down with the power line. I still have power but some of my neighbors don't tree branches all over the place very reminiscent of Sandy

Watched 2 trees fall so far

I can’t upload pictures for some reason but just imagine a 60 foot tree uprooted on top of a car

Take a screenshot of your pic and then post it.   It's annoying but it works.

Worst of the winds seem to be over

[krisb]

Power out and trees down everywhere block away from bay in Massapequa. Wind still howling. 

[Tatamy]

My brother took this picture in Center Island a short time ago

[eduggs]

The severe weather today mostly skipped past NENJ and SENY.  Still lots of TOR reports throughout the northeast and presumably even more unreported.
