334,000 people across the northeast without power right now. It peaked this afternoon around 400,000. 
winds were quite impressive from this storm lots of reports of 60 mph winds across Queens and Brooklyn, with winds in between 60 to 70 mph across Nassau and Suffolk. Definitely needed a high wind warning for Long Island and probably one for Queens too. Definitely over performed, the national weather service forecast as of last night were winds only up to 45 mph gusts today.

The hi res models warned about the wind threat today, sometimes it’s a false alarm. It’s pretty messy around my neighborhood and I know others not far away got it worse. We probably gusted 55-60 here.
