Caution tape on Jersey Avenue and Third. Fireman said the
storm tore down a tree and the falling timber brought down a wire.
Days of heat and humidity and temperatures high in the low
90s, building and building and getting hotter and stickier and harder to breathe the air and then a rash of
thunderstorm at the shank of the afternoon shattered the heat. Does the fierceness
of the storm have anything to do with the oppressiveness of the heat. The
weather was broken. Hail was reported. Flash Flooding.
Down trees and power outage.
This block was taped off, businesses and residents without electrictity, 2nd street, 4th, Erie... several blocks, one wire. The parishioners of St. Mary Church held their 7:15 PM
daily service with only candles and a flashlight. Reminds me of the Philippines
joked the priest, a Filipino. The Key Food was still open, they had a
generator, but even that went out and no one could shop. The PSE&G truck
arrived as the sun was starting to set. All you can do is just wait.
