A house at 8949 Clipnock Road, Stafford, has reportedly had its roof blown off.
The residence is being evacuated.
Also, about 520 National Grid customers are without power in an area starting just north of the city and in a triangle that stretches up to Elba. No ETA for power restoration.
There are also small power outages in Basom, Alabama, East Oakfield and Darien.
UPDATE 3:14 a.m.: Dispatchers are now saying the roof is "separating from the residence."
I drove past it and the roof
I drove past it and the roof is intact. It's being held down by some "in the wind" carpentry!
wierd weather....in the 70s I
wierd weather....in the 70s I was taught of the ramifications of pollution....its kinda late in the game now....hold on to your hats ...gonna be a wild ride!
Mary.....sad fact is ever
Mary.....sad fact is ever since LaSalle discovered and explored the Great Lakes this part of the country has ALWAYS had fierce weather. If you ever visit any of the forts that are museums now like Ft Niagara, Ft Ontario and look at the logbooks going back to the 1600 and 1700's our weather has forever been like this.
Ocean going sailors feared Great Lakes weather more than they did storms on the open ocean. Weather around any large body of water is always wacky because of the interactions between the water and the air.
Pollution is being taken care of by mother nature, ever look at Lake Ontario or Lake Erie lately water has gotten so clear it's being compared to the gin clear conditions of the Carribean Seas. I myself have dived in Lake Ontario and Erie and could see our boats on the surface from over 100 ft.
Not trying to diminish any efforts to curb pollution mind you, but honestly things are balancing out. I recall the winters we used to have around here, but I remember a few green christmases with temps near 75 back in the 70's as well.
