Power Outages Across Tri-State

A tornado hit the Riverdale section of the Bronx on Sunday. The storm system that created that tornado also ripped through Long Island and New Jersey.

Thousands of homes on Long Island and in the Bronx are without power after the storm.

The National Weather Service says the storm touched down in the Bronx at around 3 p.m. Sunday and swept east through Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Work crews were removing dozens of felled trees Sunday night. The Long Island Power Authority said 12,168 of its customers were without power, and Con Edison said 2,293 households in the Bronx were without power.

A sailor fell overboard on the Long Island Sound during the storm and was missing Sunday night.

The storm caused a two-and-a-half-hour rain delay at the Yankees game. The Yankees went on to beat the Kansas City Royals 12-6.
