Yea, I woke up around 7:45 this morning in the middle of the storm, then went out to buy milk during the second round. I was following a few of Pennington Road's fire trucks on my way home and they were definitely heading to the West Trenton area, so possibly to the airport.

When I was at Halo Farms a little before 1:00pm my wife's Grand Cherokee was swaying back and forth while parked....wind was crazy.

Also sounds like no tornado touched down at the airport, just wind damage:

TRENTON — Another round of severe weather hammered New Jersey on Sunday, spurring flooding in many areas that left some people briefly trapped in their vehicles.

Northern areas were hit hardest by the latest storm, which contained heavy rains, strong winds and dangerous lightning.

A tornado warning was issued for Mercer County in central Jersey, where the storms destroyed a Civil Air Patrol operations trailer at Trenton-Mercer Airport, but no other problems were reported before the advisory expired.

The flooding forced authorities to close numerous roadways, and minor to moderate flooding was reported at several small rivers and creeks across the state.

The storms were expected to finally leave the region sometime Monday morning.

There are still a bunch of firetrucks down at Jacob's Creek Road so I think a house was hit by some trees or some other damage. They've been down there all day. Most of the trees down I saw were on the golf course, our road, Bear Tavern, Scotch Road and over by the airport. My cousin said they had no wind up in Titusville so I guess it was really localized.

I went out and played 9 holes of golf yesterday after work and wow! There must be at least 40-50 trees either split in half or down on the ground. One section looks like a bulldozer came through and just knocked down 10-20 trees. I doubt it was a tornado, but it was close enough. You can pretty much follow the path of trees right across I95 over to the airport too where it flipped over some trailers and moved some planes around.
