Severe weather toppled trees and downed power lines across the North Shore on Tuesday morning, leaving roads unnavigable and residents without electricity. The National Weather Service sent out three separate thunderstorm warnings in the early morning hours between 4 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., citing reports of hail, thunderstorms and wind damage with trees falling onto homes and power lines down throughout the Port Jefferson area. By daybreak, intense winds and rain made way for a sunny morning that revealed the aftermath of the storm. Trees were in the streets and traffic lights had gone black. Clockwise from top: A tree pierces a windshield at Barbara Karaftis’ house on Avenue A in Port Jefferson; a butterfly soaks up the sun on Division Street on Tuesday morning as if nothing has happened; and a tree smashes through a fence on Arden Place.
