Anthony Gigi told NJ.Com the following: "The reports that we are getting are more consistent with a severe thunderstorm rather than a tornado. We’re not seeing hundreds of trees down or roofs ripped off of homes," Gigi said.
The storm prompted tornado warnings for several North-Central New Jersey and Northeastern New Jersey counties due to strong rotation being detected on doppler radar.
