Heavy winds topples trees, downs power lines across New Jersey towns
High winds and near 50 mph gusts Wednesday night into Thursday morning are reportedly knocking down power lines and trees in some towns.
Denville police told News 12 that a tree came down in the storm pulling power lines down with it. They say the wires were across the lanes of Route 46 which forced the highway to close.
Police say the power lines have since been removed from the roadway and Route 46 is now open in both directions.
No injuries were reported.
JCP&L will clear the wires for the road to open, according to authorities. They say JCP&L is in storm mode and there is no estimated time of their arrival as of yet.

Calling all N.J. food businesses! Here is how Jersey Eats helps vendors reach thousands.
NJ.com’s food festival, Jersey Eats: A Taste of New Jersey is hitting the Meadowlands for the first time and we are looking for the best food vendors in the state!
The event will be held at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Jersey Eats is more than just a food festival. It’s a platform that bridges local businesses with foodies all over the state, showcasing what makes each business unique.
At our past events, vendors connected with more than 3,000 new customers and have since helped increase sales.
Here is what past vendors have said about how Jersey Eats helped their business:
“Jersey Eats provided us with a fantastic platform to showcase our hotdog stand at the event in Trenton, N.J. It was heartwarming to see customers sharing hotdogs with each other just to explore the diverse range of food offered by fellow vendors. This not only boosted our sales but also created a sense of camaraderie among the vendors. Moreover, participating in Jersey Eats allowed us to forge valuable connections within the food industry. We were pleasantly surprised when we received invitations to other events from individuals we met at the festival. This not only expanded our network but also opened up opportunities for future collaborations,” said Anthony Gomez of Anthony the Weenie Genie, a hot dog vendor in South Jersey.
“I signed up (for) the Jersey Eats Trenton back in March, where it (was) the first time I ever vended at a market with a large attendance. It was absolutely amazing! I sold out both days being the best weekend I ever had in sales (to date) but I also gained the confidence to do other big events and continue on this new journey as a small business owner,” said Madelyn Colon of Maggie’s Munchies, a dessert vendor based in North and Central Jersey.
Vendors will also get to benefit from digital exposure on NJ.com – reaching even more foodies online, event email campaigns, promotions in our newsletter, social media promotion and visibility in our exclusive Facebook group with over 8,000 New Jersey food lovers.
