One of those huge green parkway signs blown down on the Meadowbrook.  Multiple trees down.

Trees down everywhere in Rye Brook NY

In Morris County the worst of the conditions so far have been reminiscent of a strong to borderline severe thunderstorm.  The low vis and howling winds were also somewhat reminiscent to a strong nor'easter.  Max gusts thus far were probably the 2nd strongest of the summer.  Many of the susceptible branches may have been blown down by thunderstorms earlier this summer.

Lst's see if the west wind puffs to 45 kt at 4 or 5P. 

[Rjay]

Southern State near the Meadowbrook is littered with tree debris.

Large trees are swaying with these gusts

It's wild at the beach.  Winds have to be gusting 60-70 mph at times. 

This may be the closest encounter with a tornado and a weather station in the region.

 

[snywx]

2.74" of rain

Highest gust was 32mph. Power outages all over the place here

[ict1523]

Insane bursts of wind and heavy rain the past two hours around EWR.

[jm1220]

Power just flashed here. 

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ 2,86" still power but over 990,000 without power in NJ or around 1/4 of the NJ residential population. 

[Cfa]

Dry slotted. Only 0.25”. Sunny and windy.

I swear this is like living in the desert out here, can’t count on convection, stratiform rains, nor tropical cyclones. I’m gonna go rain dance.

I'm buying that.

Fortunately it's 45 kts not 55 kts.  At 45 we get lots of medium limbs and power outages.  At 55 we get large limbs and trees down (esp if ground were more saturated), impassable roads, roof damage etc.  I think we (locally inland NJ) are right near the lower threshold for widespread significant wind damage.

I believe it. I live about 5 minutes from there and the wind is really intense. Going to take the dog out in a little while, that should be a fun ride.

Took a short walk, not the safest idea. Trees, and large branches falling all over. Got stuck trying to find a way back avoiding large trees. People out were staying in the middle of the street, scared of snapping branches all around

[binbisso]

Strongest winds I've seen in years I'm hoping none of my trees come down definitely 70 miles an hour or more but can't confirm in lower Westchester

[David-LI]

Heard a transformer blow up near my job in Great Neck, LI. Branches down. Very strong gusts.

Hook echo on the cell just SE of Islip and rotation on the cell to the East of that as well. Both have special marine warnings for waterspouts. 

Passed right over about an hour ago in Brightwaters. Streets filled with limbs. 

[Brian5671]

some gusts over 50 here for sure with some squalls

[ILoveWinter]

I'm currently on the far eastern end of LI and so far not much of anything though the wind has picked up slightly.

I am posting the 1PM Obs from Mount Holly. This is going to be representative of the weather of the next 2-3 hours in the NYC area. I am highlighted the calm winds at the observing stations in Bucks Cty near me where the center was at that time.

Wild out there

[cleetussnow]

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.

Finally lost power in NW Nassau

All hell breaking loose in the city, whole trees down on my campus now. We even had windows blow in on the dorms
