News 12's Virginia Huie surveyed Suffolk County in Thunderbolt 12, and many roads were either tough to navigate or impassible due to downed trees and power lines. She passed through Northport late Tuesday, which was hit particularly hard.

Aug. 4, 7 p.m. Huie made her way past Lake Ronkonkoma, where the howling winds were still felt long after the rain moved through.

 

Aug. 4, 5 p.m. Thunderbolt 12 passed through Mattituck as the sun began to shine through.
