Tracking Elsa: Severe Thunderstorms Hammer Tri-State Area Ahead Of Tropical Storm’s Arrival
RIDGEWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Severe thunderstorms hammered the Tri-State Area on Thursday afternoon ahead of Tropical Storm Elsa’s arrival.
Some of the worst damage was in New Jersey, including in Ridgewood, where trees were toppled and roads buckled.
As CBS2’s Jessica Layton reports, a huge tree branch was sheared off and fell onto wires on Heights Road, and on North Monroe Street, the road buckled, forcing crews to divert traffic around it.
Bergen County seemed to bear the brunt of the afternoon storm, with trees coming down, some on cars, throughout the area and hail falling in some parts of the area.
Avoid the major Deegan in the vicinity of 179th St. The highway is shut down in both directions

Flooding was also a big issue throughout the Tri-State Area. Cars were flooded out on the Major Deegan, which had to be shut down in both directions near 179th Street.
