What the National Weather Service wrote

Downed wires on Avenue J in Brooklyn.

The wider storm

Although shear was overall weak, lift from an approaching pre-frontal trough and upper level trough combined with 1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE was enough for a few severe thunderstorms to develop and produce damaging wind gusts.

Began near Brooklyn (40.6278, -73.9345).
