SYRACUSE, N.Y.- Last night's powerful thunder and lightning caused power outages all over Syracuse, and there are still some homes and businesses suffering. National Grid spokesperson, Courtney Quatrino said, "Manlius still has about 1,100 power outages as of this morning."
Quatrino said that there were over 300 lightning bolts recorded last night after the storm got started. The storm brought heavy rains, wind, and, of course, thunder and lightning. She said there were still about "50 or less" new outages this morning in each surrounding area of Syracuse.
Quatrino said that crews have been dispersed all over Central New York to fix the outages. She had no timetable for when they would be up and running, but was hopeful it would not last longer than today.
