Two parked vehicles were damaged by falling tree limbs that also closed a street, but a rainstorm that smacked other parts of New Jersey and the Northeast Tuesday night largely spared Red Bank, police said.
As of 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, there were no known power outages in town after a night in which none appeared to have been reported by electricity provider JCP&L/First Energy, police Chief Darren McConnell told redbankgreen.
At that hour, almost 9,500 customers elsewhere in Monmouth County were without power, JCP&L reported on its outage map.
A tree or limbs that went down on Spring Street damaged two parked vehicles, McConnell said. The street was still closed at 7:30 while crews cleared the debris, he said.
The public utilities department reported sporadic street flooding overnight, but the water had drained away by morning, he said.
The storm, packing wind gusts of up to 70 miles per hour, left widespread flooding and damage elsewhere in the state, and from Virginia to Maine, according to NJ.com and other news outlets.
