Hempstead Avenue [8-8-19]

On the night of Thursday, August 8th, 2019 severe weather moved across Long Island. Among the hardest hit areas was the Lakeview fire district. The small department answered eight alarms within one hour. Many of these calls were for trees and wires down onto vehicles, houses, and the roadway. Hempstead Avenue at Cornwell Avenue, where most of these photos were taken, had signs of the most damage. Additional photos in this gallery were taken on Wildwood Road.
