Did A Tornado Hit During New Jersey's Bad Storms on Monday? [VIDEO]

Did a tornado hit New Jersey in the middle of those bad storms on Monday? It turns out, only "straight-line winds" did damage to areas of New Jersey where thousands were still without power on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

NBC4 New York interviewed a family that was dealing with fallen trees that were strewn across their yard on Tuesday after a damaging storm ripped through their Bridgewater yard.

The family wondered if it was a tornado.

But Sarah Johnson, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said the damage in that Somerset County area was caused by straight-line winds.

Johnson said numerous trees were down in Hopewell in Mercer County, Old Bridge and Jamesburg in Middlesex County and in West Amwell and Readington in Hunterdon County.

More than 1,000 in Monmouth County and 2,000 in Burlington were still without power on Tuesday morning, as well as 647 in Mercer, 333 in Hunterdon and 918 in Somerset.

The storms also impacted other areas of the state, including the Jersey Shore - here's Long Beach Island:
