NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — A combination of wet weather and gusty winds are causing problems across the Tri-State area.
A wind advisory is in effect until midnight for the five boroughs, as well as Nassau and Westchester counties.
The National Weather Service said southerly winds of 10 to 20 mph could pack gusts up to 45 mph.
The windy weather is already causing damage throughout parts of the Tri-State area.
A large tree blocked the entire road at 150th Street and Melbourne Avenue after it came crashing down in Flushing, Queens. It is unclear if anyone was injured.
In New Jersey, a tree fell onto a building on Clinton Place in Hackensack.
Another tree fell onto at least one parked car on High Street near Ascension Street in Passaic.
“I woke up and they told me that there was a tree on my car and I found this and now I don’t have to go to work,” car owner Noam Betesh said.
Power lines came down on Fort Lee Road in Leonia, leaving customers in the area in the dark for about two hours before PSE&G restored service.
Rain in the morning created slippery rail conditions, delaying train service on Metro-North and Long Island railroads. Torrential rain later in the day could lead to some potential flooding.
