A line of strong storms moving through Western New York in the early morning hours Thursday left behind some damage, and more than 8,000 without power.
The majority of the power outages were in Niagara County, although about 3,000 were in the city of Buffalo.
Strong winds knocked down trees and power lines across the region. Tuscarora Road in South Buffalo was closed for several hours overnight after a tree blocked the road. Crews were called to Buffum road as well for multiple trees down.
In Williamsville, a tree fell onto a power line, and a car. Pfohl Avenue was closed for several hours as crews worked to clean up the damage.
