What the National Weather Service wrote

A few trees down along the MTA Q line in Sheepshead Bay.

The wider storm

A deep upper level trough was over the eastern third of the US. Its axis approached through the day. Strong to severe storms developed well west of the area and eventually formed a broken line as they approached. While shear was minimal, a well-developed cold pool allowed for continued propagation with support for strong updrafts. The broken line produced an isolated damaging wind gust.

Began near Homecrest (40.5883, -73.9515).
