It felled trees on Rt. 9W between Cornwall and Highlands; pushed over tractor trailers on I84; downed utility poles and wires leaving several hundred local residents without power; knocked over signs; and left branches strewn across roadways, homes and yards. Here, Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson Department of Public Works employees helped remove a very pretty tree which fell on a Hudson St. home.
