The storm also took a toll on Long Island where
it left parts of Suffolk County flooded and will make
the commute rough this morning.
Jessica here in the City of Wicked Winds knocked down
trees and power lines and also forced the city to
evacuate nearly 2000 migrants from a Brooklyn shelter.
Let's get right to Lizette Nunez,
she is live in Marine Park with the very latest
Lizette.
Good morning to Shawnee and Dan.
Well, all the migrants have since been taken back to
Floyd by midfield.
They were only here for a few hours to spend
the night inside the gymnasium at James Madison High School,
and the reason for that is because Floyd Bennett Field
is prone to flooding.
Bus after bus pulled up in front of James Madison
High School in Brooklyn.
Hundreds of migrant families rushed in as they attempted to
get out of the pouring rain.
This man saying they have us like dogs in the
street.
Our children are wet from the rain.
Everyone is soaked. Yesterday the city temporarily relocated 1900 migrants
from Floyd Benefield to James Madison High School as a
precaution due to the strong storm.
This woman was frustrated. Saying that,
keeping relocated all over the place.
Yesterday, Mayor Adams and New York City Emergency Management Commissioner
SAC is called toward the respite center.
All migrants are expected to exit the school this morning
and students will have classes remotely those who live nearby
angry about the situation.
We all should be safe from all type of all
type of weather,
but these people should have been deported back to where
they came from because they came into this country illegally.
They didn't come here to make our country better.
I believe they come here just for votes.
They're already getting free New York ID's.
They're getting free shelter, free food.
The powerful storm costing damage across the city.
Over in Queens, sparks flew as a power pole and
wires went up in flames due to the storm.
Also in Queens, parts of the Cross Island Pkwy were
closed down by police due to flooding and cars had
to be towed away.
This is what the scene looked like in Brooklyn and
Staten Island,
where multiple trees were knocked down,
including this one near Caulfield Ave.
that fell on a parked car and another one was
uprooted and fell on part of a home.
Just some of the damage as cleanup slowly will get
underway today.
So once again, all the migrants were sent back to
Floyd Benefield at around 4:30 this morning.
That's when they started relocating them back to where they
originally were.
As far as the plan here at James Madison High
School,
classes will still be remote today.
That's the latest here from Brooklyn.
Dan into Shawnee will send this back inside to move
fast.
OK. Thank you very much,
Lizette.
