According to our photographer on the scene, the storm downed trees, which brought down power lines in the area. The disaster coordinator for Wales tells 7EWN that power crews are waiting for daylight to start work in the area.
NITTEC says the road was expected to reopen around 8 a.m. this morning.
If you use Rt 78 (near Wales/East Aurora) for your morning drive you'll want to make sure you plan ahead @WKBW #WNY pic.twitter.com/gbRSJwv6gn
