"Sunday's thunderstorms caused heavy rains, spawned a tornado in the Southern Tier, numerous lightning strikes, and knocked out power to hundreds.From WGRZ:
Reports of damage to trees and power lines have come in from Albion in Orleans County, and Batavia in Genesee County, as well as flooding in Wayne County.
The National Weather Service has also confirmed that a tornado struck Sunday in the town of Rushford in Allegany County."
"Powerlines were down in front of Marc Haskins' home outside of Rushford. He says the wind picked up a small shed from across the street and dropped it in front of his driveway. It damaged his truck and cut the powerline to his home.Haskins didn't see a tornado either, but he and his wife didn't any chances, "When we heard the rumble, we didn't even stop to look, we just went into the basement.""
From WKBW:
