PSE&G crews were working to restore power Thursday afternoon to about 156 customers who remain without electricity. Crews have restored service to more than 60,000 customers impacted by the storm. The utility is anticipating more outages after Friday night's strong storms.
On Thursday night, members of a family with young children, were hurt when the 25-foot wide section fell underneath a ramp around 8 p.m. All the injuries were considered minor, and they were sustained as the group rushed to escape the falling concrete. Some were partially buried, and a 4-month-old baby was scooped up by a passerby.
The road isn't damaged and the bridge not compromised, but inspectors spent the overnight hours cleaning up debris and taking a closer look at the wall. The scene was fully cleared and all roads reopened by 6 a.m. Thursday.
The storm caused problems all around the area, flooding roads and knocking out power as well as putting on spectacular lightning displays.
People braved the heavy rain as they ran for cover on the streets in Carroll Gardens. And in Red Hook, at Smith and Ninth streets, the sudden downpour left several drivers stranded. An eyewitness says flooding there reached as high as three feet.
NYPD officers put on wetsuits to get into the water and pull the vehicles' occupants to safety.
Rushing water turned roadways in Park Slope into rivers, with bags of garbage floating down Fourth Avenue. Residents there also spotted manhole covers flying into the air.
Cars were stranded in parts of New Jersey, as well, particularly in Cranford. In Roselle, high waters forced a bicyclist to hop off the bike and make his way on foot near 3rd Avenue and Pine Street.
Also, a woman had to be rescued from her flooded car by local firefighters.
Power lines that came down in Palisades Park sparked a fire near a bus stop at Bergen Boulevard and East Brinkerhoff Avenue. Thankfully, firefighters quickly put out the flames, and no injuries were reported.
Crews were working to restore all the power, which left tens of thousands of residents without electricity at the storm's peak.
A dramatic rescue was caught on camera in Sullivan County, where an elderly woman was rescued from a home that was surrounded by rising water from a nearby river in Youngsville.
Several homes had to be evacuated in other parts of the county because of flooding.
