Posted
During the celebrations at South Side High Schools Blue and Red night, the high winds caused a massive tree to fall in the full parking lot of Firemans Field striking a Ford Explorer.

A fallen tree rerouted traffic on Capitolian Boulevard after nightfall Saturday. Village workers had yet to respond when this photo was taken but were busy clearing other fallen trees throughout Rockville Centre that were knocked over by high winds and heavy rain throughout the day.

Rockville Centre's emergency workers had their hands full today as near hurricane force winds and driving rain toppled large trees and challenged power lines throughout the village today. The bad weather from a poweful Nor'easter, came on the heels of three similar storms in recent weeks. This one featured higher winds and warmer temperatures that prevented the area from being buried in snow.
Many village employees -- workers from the Department of Public Works, Electric, Sanitation, Police and Fire Department were out in force to clear roads, redirect traffic and maintain electricity as nearly 4 inches of rain fell and winds gusted up to near 70 m.p.h.
