Severe Weather: Huge Tree Falls Onto N.J. Home; Governors Ball Evacuated

WESTFIELD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – Some intense storms brought rain, lightning and even hail to the Tri-State Area on Sunday night.

A massive tree fell onto a three-story home in Westfield, New Jersey while the residents were inside. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but fire officials said there was significant damage on the top two floors.

"The whole second floor looks pushed in, not good," one woman said.

Crews are removing the huge tree branch by branch. Meanwhile, the family is unable to return home.

"It looks like that roof, the top, got severely damaged," said a man. "It's a shame, because my house went through that a few years back."

The fire chief told CBS2 the winds likely brought down the old but otherwise healthy tree.

"It rained hard, it rained very hard," the woman said. "It came very quickly and it was over very quickly… That's scary."

Neighbors said the family recently had some work done on the home.

Elsewhere in our area, Burlington County was hit with several rounds of hail, as was Howard Beach, Queens.

Governors Ball was cut short on Randall's Island due to severe weather, and Hot 97 Summer Jam was briefly delayed at MetLife Stadium. Gov Ball organizers are now offering refunds to Sunday ticketholders.
