Severe Storm Causes Havoc Across Tristate Area

The storm that struck the tristate area on Wednesday led to travel advisories being issued across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The intensity of the rainstorm was evident as the National Weather Service recorded over an inch and a half of rain in Central Park, accompanied by wind gusts reaching 59 mph.

The severe weather resulted in numerous trees being felled and flights experiencing delays across the region. In another alarming incident, a tree fell on a car in Brookfield, Conn., with a mother and her children inside; fortunately, no injuries were reported, albeit the vehicle being severely damaged.

About 50,000 people in the region woke up Thursday without power.

Continued Impact and Further Tragedies

While the rains and winds subsided in the city and its suburbs, the storm persisted, affecting a vast portion of the Northeast and New England. Thursday morning brought tragic news from New Hampshire, where a woman lost her life, and another was hospitalized due to a house fire caused by an explosion.

“Northern parts of New England are bracing for up to 2 feet of snow with wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph by the time the nor’easter clears the area,”

These occurrences emphasize the far-reaching impact of the storm, further highlighting the need for caution and preparedness during severe weather conditions.
