Tropical Storm Isaias Rips Through Forest Hills: Photos

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — Tropical Storm Isaias made its mark on Forest Hills as it tore through the city Tuesday.

Winds as strong as 73 mph managed to damage trees and completely uproot others throughout the neighborhood, in some cases sending them crashing onto power lines and causing outages in nearby homes.

A tree toppled a chain-link fence at the World's Fair Playground along the Grand Central Parkway. Another smashed a car outside the NYPD 112th Precinct station on Austin Street.

The city's parks department received well over 9,000 reports of downed trees across Queens due to the storm, QNS.com reported — the most reports of any borough.

In one case, in nearby Briarwood, it proved fatal: A 60-year-old man sitting inside a parked van was killed after a tree crashed down on the car.

Falling trees and debris knocked out power for tens of thousands of Queens residents Tuesday.

About 200 households in Forest Hills and Rego Park were still without power Wednesday afternoon.

A nearby swath of central Queens was hit even harder, with more than 4,000 living in or around Middle Village and Maspeth stuck in the dark, according to Con Edison's power outage map.

Con Ed called it the second-largest storm-related outage in its history, rivaled only by the 1.1 million outages caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Con Ed was still "evaluating conditions" as of 4 p.m. Wednesday and had no estimates for when power would return to Queens residents.

"It is clear the restoration of all customers will take multiple days," Con Ed said in a statement.
