There were thousands in Lakewood without power.

Parts of Brooklyn, including Williamsburg and Boro Park were totally flooded. Many street corners and intersections were not passable, and additional rain was still on the forecast.

Video from Bergen County in New Jersey showed quarter-sized hail coming down on houses, as the whole area was hit with some fast-moving thunderstorms around 4 p.m. The rain started in the city about the same time, coming down heavy for a few minutes before clearing up entirely and the sun coming out immediately after.
