More than 500 National Grid customers along the Route 98 corridor from Batavia to Elba are without power.
The power outage spreads like triangle from the City of Batavia, where the tip starts, up to the Village of Elba, where the base of the triangle stretches east and west.
Power is expected to be restored by 2:15 p.m.
The outage caused one person to become briefly trapped in an elevator at the Hampton Inn. (Back-up generators corrected the problem.)
Radio traffic indicted the problem is a power line that stretches under the Thruway.
