HTN: More Weekend Weather Woes

The remnants of the weekend windstorms are apparent on city streets. A bus shelter tilted; traffic lights, street lights, and some Western New York homes still don't have power. Some homes and businesses were damaged by the winds. Utility crews from Pennsylvania and downstate New York have been called in to help restore power. You are reminded to treat traffic lights affected by the outages as four-way stops.

There are several flood warnings in effect through this evening. Tonawanda Creek is expected to crest at 16-point-eight feet. The affected areas include Oatka Creek at Garbutt, Ellicott Creek below Williamsville, and Tonawanda Creek at Batavia and Rapids.
