Power restored to nearly 4,000 Western New Yorkers following severe thunderstorms

Hundreds of people in Niagara and Allegany counties were still without power late Tuesday night.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Over 5,000 people were without power Tuesday evening as severe thunderstorms made their way through the area.  

Power has been restored to over 4,000 National Grid customers. According to National Grid's power outage map, a majority of the outages were reported in Erie and Niagara counties. 

As of 4:15 a.m., 115 National Grid customers in Erie County were still without power. The estimated restoration is 6:00 a.m. Wednesday.

Meanwhile, 65 NYSEG customers are currently without power. A majority of the outages have been reported in Niagara county. Restoration times have not been provided at this time.

In terms of damage, the impact of the storm does appear to be spotty, with some areas relatively untouched and others now having to clean up the mess.

2 On Your Side checked out the conditions throughout the night in the Storm Tracker, starting in Larkinville where there was heavy rainfall that passed through the first Food Truck Tuesday of the season. Nearby, there was also some flooding on Elmwood Avenue by the Regal Theater in North Buffalo.
