Downed trees across the region caused power outages and a messy morning commute.

Two trees fell onto the Hutchinson River Parkway creating lane closures and a traffic nightmare.

One tree fell on the northbound lanes of the Hutch near exit 17 in New Rochelle while another one fell on the southbound lanes in Mamaroneck. Both incidents were cleared quickly, and no injuries were reported. 

Utility crews say thousands were without power after falling braches and tress knocked down power lines, but that electricity has been restored in most cases.
