Thoughout central new york tonight!
These are wires down along river road in marcy.
As you can see here, a wire was hanging in this spot, prompting the maynard fire department to shut down the road for a little while, while waiting for national grid to arrive.
The road has since reopened.
And over in deerfield, quite the scene here!
Just before 7 tonight, crews were called to cosby manor road near keyes road for a tree falling and knocking down wires.
As you can see lots of damage.
We spoke with the homeowner who tells us what happened.
"my wife and i looked out the window, around 6:30 we see a big red maple limb had broken off our neighbors tree.
And wires were down there were about 3-4 sets of wires down, and what happened (was) we had a real strong gust of wind that came through.
We had some earlier storms rain and wind, but this was a powerful one that tree has been there for probably 70 years.
