Driving home on the Van Wyck North just as the storm started. Couldn't see 20 feet in front of me, whole car shaking heavily, crazy.
It calmed down a LITTLE bit, and then I came upon two overturned tractor trailers on the southbound side, one taking out a light pole that blocked two lanes on my side. Only one ambulance with one EMT on scene, with a crushed cab on one of the trucks and a partially crushed car under another.
I had to slowly make big turns around massive branches and a half dozen garbage pails all over the road. It was like I was in some video game. Never saw anything like it.
Here's the first flipped truck...
Here's the top of the 2nd one as I passed...
Here are two of the garbage pails I encountered. See how I have an open road? All that traffic is behind me.
All that damage took place within 20 minutes. Yikes. Hope those wrecked drivers are ok.
