A line of thunderstorms moved across the New York City area, bringing strong winds and heavy rains that knocked down trees and caused scattered power outages.

Mayor Bill de Blasio issued a travel advisory for Wednesday evening through early Thursday morning.

The National Weather Service said the region could be hit with 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts.

Authorities are investigating the possibility that high winds caused a vacant three-story building in the Bronx to collapse. There were no reports of injuries.
