Strong southeast and then west winds affected New Jersey throughout the afternoon into the first part of the evening on the 23rd. The strongest winds between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. EST that afternoon. Peak wind gusts averaged around 45 mph. The winds pushed over some weak trees and tree limbs. The recent run of wet weather made trees more susceptible to being uprooted by the strong winds. In Morris County, a Glen Road home in Denville Township suffered heavy damage to its roof, deck and external walls when a pine tree snapped in half and fell onto it. In Hunterdon County, several trees were knocked down in Glen Gardner Borough. About 7,000 homes and businesses lost power in northwest New Jersey. In Monmouth County, New Jersey State Route 33 was closed in Freehold because of downed wires. Most of Tinton Falls Borough lost power. In Burlington County, in Burlington Township, the wind damaged the roof of one home.  Peak wind gusts included 56 mph at the Newark Liberty International Airport (Essex County), 48 mph in Whitehouse Station (Hunterdon County), 45 mph in Voorhees Township (Camden County) and 40 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport.
