“All we heard was– it felt like an earthquake,” he said. “We seen all the trunk basically tore up my garage in the back end of my house, so basically, the fire department got it.”

Weather damage in NYC

Meanwhile, in New York City, a large tree fell across bike lanes in Central Park.

Over in Brownsville, Brooklyn, a tree fell on Aaron Williams’ family car.

“So we don’t know the nature of the vehicle and how it’s going to function until the tree is removed,” he said. “And I’m hurting more than anything. And I know financially at the moment, we don’t have the finance to really fix this vehicle at the moment.”  

He’s now thinking about how he’s going to take his children to school, swim practice, and how he’ll be getting his groceries.
