A quick-moving storm Thursday
thought to have been a microburst in Beacon is actually the result of strong
wind gusts, the National Weather Service says.
DPW workers worked overnight in
Beacon to clean up a tree and wires downed during the weather event.
The Beacon Police Department
posted
to Facebook photos of a massive tree knocked over near the intersection of
Beekman and High streets.
The National Weather Service says
that because the damage was isolated to that one area, the storm wasn't a
microburst.
The area has since reopened and the
streets have been cleaned up.
