Minor power outages, minor flooding reported in the county

By Howard B. Owens

National Grid reported as many six power outages in Genesee County this morning affecting fewer than two dozen customers.

There was a larger outage -- more than 300 customers -- in Wyoming County with an affected area that stretches just into Pavilion and an outage effecting six customers in Attica (Genesee County). Power has been restored in this area.

Outages effecting fewer than five customers each are reported at the intersection of Lewiston Road and Main Street, Batavia, one in the Prole Road area of Stafford and another at Transit Road, Elba. Also, one on Transit Road, East Bethany.

Power was out at GCC for a time, but has been restored. The campus is reportedly closed until 11 a.m.

Peaviner Road is closed due to high water.

At about 4 a.m., Town of Batavia Fire Department responded to a report wires arcing on Alexander Road and about 30 minutes later, Stafford Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a transformer blowing in the area of Fotch Road.

Presumably, just about everybody heard, and felt, the overnight thunderstorm.
