Big gusts here in Jersey City , fire truck sirens going off all over
54mph recorded at the Liberty science center mesonet
I'm thinking higher. Haven't seen winds like that in a long time
I didn't see any funnels but I definitely saw some rotation. Storm was maturing right over us.
If this started maturing say by new Brunswick instead of NYC metro, it could've been worse. It really wanted to (wind wise)
Also though we're not in a severe drought , things are still extremely dry and with thunderstorm season coming up , going to be easy for lightning to spark more wildfires
