High winds downed many trees and power lines across the region. The dangerous combination of heavy rain, high winds, and lightning produced flash floods and widespread power outages due to fallen trees and power lines across the northeast Bronx, including City Island. Additionally, at least 4 cars were crushed by fallen trees in the lower Pelham Gardens area.
