| Episode Narrative | Deep low pressure strengthened as it moved from near Chicago to Quebec. The strong southerly winds ahead of the system downed trees and power lines across the higher elevations of the western southern Tier of New York during the pre-dawn hours. On the New York State Thruway, several tractor trailers were blown over as winds gusted to near 70 mph. As the system passed to the north, winds shifted to southwest and increased. Gusts were measured to 60 mph at the Buffalo International Airport. The winds downed trees and power lines and utilities reported tens of thousands without power. |
