High winds hitting Genesee County and first damage reported

By Howard B. Owens

High winds have just hit Genesee County -- there is a high wind warning in effect throughout the day -- and the first report of poles and wires down comes from Alabama.

Wires and poles are down on Lewiston Road and Knowlesville Road with arcing and sparking.

UPDATE 9:37 a.m.: Lines down on Vine Street, Batavia.

There's a half of a tree on the roof of Dr. (Joe) Rowbottom's old office, now a Lawyer's Office on Washington Avenue. Hope nobody's hurt and I believe it is considered and act of God.
