NEW JERSEY (WABC) — A fast-moving but powerful storm ripped through the Tri-State area on Friday evening, leaving behind a trail of damage and crippling NJ Transit in the process.<\/p>\n

Pictures from the agency showed debris across multiple tracks near Hoboken Terminal after storms rolled through, and a tree came down on overhead wires near Broad Street in Red Bank.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The severe weather prompted Gov. Mikie Sherrill to issue a statement about the impacts to NJ Transit service and warn residents of the dangerous conditions and avoid any unnecessary travel.<\/p>\n

Latest updates on train, rail service:<\/p>\n

Train service is suspended on Morris and Essex, Gladstone Branch, Raritan Valley, and North Jersey Coast Lines. Crews have been deployed to assess and repair damage to the infrastructure. Service has resumed on Main, Bergen County, Port Jervis, Pascack Valley lines and Hoboken with residual delays. NJ TRANSIT rail tickets and passes are being cross honored on NJ TRANSIT and private carrier buses and PATH at Newark Penn Station, Hoboken Terminal, and 33rd Street, New York.<\/p>\n

River Line service is suspended in both directions between Roebling and Cass Street Stations due to weather-related downed trees on the tracks near Roebling Station. Substitute bus service is being provided.<\/p>\n

Northeast Corridor Line rail service is subject to up to one-hour delays in both directions due to a disabled train near Metuchen. Eastbound trains are track-level boarding and deboarding at New Brunswick, Edison, and Metuchen. Stair use is required to access trains.<\/p>\n

Storms wreak havoc across other parts of the Tri-State<\/p>\n

NJ Transit wasn’t the only thing that suffered from the Friday night’s severe storms.<\/p>\n

Emergency crews responded to Stegman Street in Jersey City where part of a building collapsed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It appeared that the building was under construction. There were no reports of any injuries.<\/p>\n

The Red Cross said they received a call from the Jersey City Office of Emergency Management, and volunteers are on their way to provide assistance to those displaced. They said they expect to assist five people in two families.<\/p>\n

Footage captured power lines and a large tree down in Clark, and debris battered by the storm in Plainfield.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Several other towns and cities in New Jersey, including Bayonne and Rutherford, were responding to reports of downed trees.<\/p>\n

Powerful winds also flipped an 18-wheeler to its side on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York City.<\/p>\n
