    The National Weather Service is investigating whether a severe, fast-moving storm that ripped through the Greenwood Lake area this morning could be a microburst or tornado.

    News 12 saw several large trees uprooted along Jersey Avenue. Downed trees fell on homes and power lines.

    Officials say a tree fell on a Greenwood Lake elementary school bus with roughly 10 children onboard on East Shore Road during the height of the storm. While no children were injured, the district stopped all elementary school buses from traveling after the incident.

    A Greenwood Lake DPW crew was also trapped while responding to an emergency on Edgemere Avenue after utility wires fell and caught fire, according to the village mayor.

    Blaise Gomez's report from 10 a.m.

    The Orange County Office of Emergency Management has set up a staging area at the Greenwood Lake Police Department to respond to storm-related calls and access the damage with local officials.
