UPDATE 6 p.m.: Picture of Main and Bank streets about 10 minutes ago, when a storm cell passed over Batavia. Within minutes, the skies started to clear and the rain stopped. There may be more on the way. There is a report of a traffic light being stuck in red in one direction and green in another at Oak Street and Richmond Avenue as well as at Oak and the Thruway. There was a report of wires down on Walnut, but that turned out to be cable wires and not in the street. So far, it sounds like the parade at the Genesee County Fair is going to go ahead as scheduled.
